The personal company isn't very safe. I knew it can be problematic one day. I was right. The leak exposed approximately 1 billion records of personal data from 26 countries including Canada.

  • Full names
  • Addresses
  • Dates of birth
  • National IDs
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses

The data was left unsecured. I'm very disappointed in WS security and privacy policy.

It is really sad. I used persona for 2FA reset. When I asked them if my info was safe, they only apologized but didn't answer my question. I am curious if they already knew persona was not secure.
