The breach, which happened in late February, included usernames, emails, and encrypted passwords. Credit card numbers from paying customers were not accessed.

"The affected data did not include government-issued identifiers (such as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers) because we don't collect that information from users. Payment card data was not affected because it is collected and processed separately."
