Data Leak
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
Betterment suffered a systems breach in January that exposed personal information from about 1.4 million accounts. The stolen dataset included email addresses, names, location data, birthdates, physical addresses, and phone numbers. A later analysis put the exposure at 1,435,174 accounts. The leak matters because it concentrates highly usable identity data tied to a large U.S. robo-advisory customer base.

Have I Been Pwned analyzed the leaked 7-Eleven data and estimated that the breach exposed personal information for 185,300 people, including names, dates of birth, unique email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. The exposed archive was tied to ShinyHunters' extortion campaign against 7-Eleven and followed the group's leak-site posting after ransom demands were not met.
