What was exposed
Neiman Marcus’s breach included 8 kinds of data. What each lets criminals do:
| Data | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Partial credit card data | Not enough to spend, but enough to make a fake call from your bank convincing. |
| Purchases | Shows what you buy, which makes fake order and refund scams convincing. |
| Dates of birth | Used to prove who you are to banks and phone companies. |
| Names | Makes scam messages personal enough to believe. |
| Physical addresses | Used to prove who you are, and for scam letters and parcels. |
| Email addresses | Expect scam emails that name the company to look genuine. |
| Phone numbers | Expect scam texts and calls, and a higher risk of someone moving your number to their SIM. |
| IP addresses | Roughly where you were when you used the service. |
