What happened
In July 2024, the Indian stock brokerage firm Angel One confirmed that data leaked online related to a breach that occurred in April 2023. The leaked data included 7.9M user records containing 6.8M unique email addresses, along with names, physical addresses, phone numbers, bank account numbers, Permanent Account Numbers (PANs) and portfolio holdings. Angel One emphasised that the breach "has no impact on client securities, funds, or credentials".
What data was exposed
- Bank account numbers
- Dates of birth
- Email addresses
- Financial investments
- Government issued IDs
- Names
- Phone numbers
- Physical addresses
What to do right now
- Watch your card and bank statements. Set up transaction alerts, and consider a card freeze or replacement if the exposure included full card numbers.
- Freeze your credit. A credit freeze at the major bureaus is free and blocks new accounts from being opened in your name.
- Be alert for smishing and SIM-swap attempts. Treat unexpected texts and "carrier" calls with suspicion; add a PIN/port-freeze with your mobile carrier.
- Watch for targeted phishing mail. A leaked home address makes postal and doorstep scams more convincing.
- Expect convincing phishing emails. Attackers use breached details to write personalized emails. Be suspicious of any message referencing this service.
- Check your other accounts on Have I Been Pwned. Your email address may appear in other breaches you don't know about yet.
- Monitor the apps you use going forward. Clearly watches the breach record for the companies behind your apps and alerts you the moment one appears.
