Personal information was also exposed, including:
•Names
•Addresses
•Birth dates
•Social Security numbers
•Bank account numbers
•Checking account numbers
•Loan agreements
•Bankruptcy filings
•Tax documents (including W-2 tax forms)
Currently unknown if any of the info was accessed by hackers...

@joe53- With all the massive data breaches, at this point, I just assume all my info is already out there.
I check my email address every so often at have i been pwned? to see what it reports. My address was pwned at one site so I changed that password. Fortunately, it was an "unimportant" site and I never use the same password at multiple sites so no harm done, at least this time...
