Breaches Exposing Physical Address Information
Companies that reported breaches involving this type of personal data.
About this data type
Physical address data breaches expose your home or mailing address, sometimes combined with your name and other identifiers. While address data alone is less dangerous than financial or government ID data, it enables targeted physical mail fraud, enables stalking or harassment in serious cases, and is frequently combined with other breached data to build complete identity profiles used in fraud.
Risk level: Lower — Be alert for suspicious mail, unsolicited financial offers, or physical mail that appears to be fraudulently opened. Combined with other exposed data, address information significantly increases your overall fraud risk.
