Specifically, some of the data that could have been compromised are name, telephone number, postal address, email address and some digits of credit or debit cards.

This could allow cybercriminals to carry out effective attacks against certain exposed users.

The company clarifies that none of the stolen data poses a risk of unauthorized transactions to bank accounts of affected users.

All affected users will receive a personal notice via in-app messages, so you likely already know whether or not you’re affected.

EasyPark’s security team is implementing security and privacy measures to mitigate the adverse effects of the incident, and have already notified the relevant authorities of this data leak.
