Wonder if there's anything of worth.
Hackers got their hands on a loot of 300k pirated book pdfs? And internal documents that were already leaked by someone that googled "how to share a pdf".

Geez, I know nobody here clicks through and reads articles before commenting, but are we not even reading the posts now?
>we found that the third party may have accessed your email address... last 4 digits of your credit card and country, credit card issuer, credit card expiry date, payment history
not even worth disclosing nowadays, almost entirely public info
Great reason to use privacy.com virtual cards wherever possible and online
This is good advice for anyone who lives in the USA, but there are hardly any adequate alternatives for the rest of the world, as far as I know.

Maybe start with your bank?
My local (Central European) bank offered virtual cards service yesterday to which I declined setting them up on site, will strongly reconsider now, thanks!
My bank is the opposite of yours. They used to offer a similar service but shuttered it a few years ago. A shame.

Maybe a good time to call up the bank (or other banks) and ask them if they provide this or any other service that would prevent you from needing to cancel physical cards in case of these ever-increasing security incidents?
Late edit: just checked it out and the virtual cards can be ordered via the banking app, either permanent virtual or one-time use where the card auto-expires after the purchase has gone through. That's really neat! (Not gloating but sharing what I've learned, hope you can find similar security in your bank offerings).
I did some research and corroborated with Claude. No banks in my country offer anything akin to Privacy.com. There are a few "virtual card" services but they have limits that make them virtually unusable.
I doubt I'll have any influence on the products any one bank in my country offers, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
yea, until privacy.com gets hacked
What would they do with my bank account and routing number?

Use it for money laundering and fraud.
I don't even think they actually pirated book pdfs. Just previews to get you to sign up that lead to no where
Scribd has a ton of oop but copyrighted licensed content, which I highly doubt they pay licensing fees for.
