What to do based on this breach

Be cautious with emails that mention your name plus your birth date or birthplace to sound convincing, and verify requests via official channels

Review which services use that same email address and enable two step verification on the most important ones

Update security questions or account recovery options on services that rely on personal details like date or city of birth

Use your GDPR rights to ask ANPS what data was affected, how it is being used, and request rectification or erasure where applicable

What can we learn from this breach?

Even without passwords, a mix of name, email, and birth details makes targeted scams much easier. The key takeaway is to modernize legacy systems, minimize what personal data is stored, and enforce strong access controls and monitoring so older databases do not become an easy entry point.
