# Astoria WHAT HAPPENED In January 2021, over 11M Astoria email addresses were discovered by Night Lion Security [https://nightlion.com/blog/2021/astoria-company-breach/] as well as names, physical and IP addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.  Some records also contained social security numbers, driver's license details, personal financial information and health-related data, depending on where the information was sourced from.

Be careful with unexpected emails, calls, or texts that seem to know very specific details about you This exposure included more than just contact information — some records had dates of birth, addresses, financial details, health-related data, driver’s license details, or Social Security numbers. WHY THIS BREACH MATTERS Even though this breach happened back in 2021, leaked data doesn't just expire. It keeps getting bought, sold, and reused by scammers.  And even if you've never used this exact site before, your email may have still ended up in it through a partner, data broker, or another service behind the scenes.  If you've ever reused this password anywhere else, it's worth taking a minute to secure it now.
