For consumers, receiving a data breach notification letter confirms your sensitive details were compromised.
The information exposed in the Harbor Fish Market breach reportedly includes Full Name, Email Address, Mailing Address, Payment Card Information, Password or Credential Hash, Purchase and Order History, and Phone Number.

Bad actors can use this information to initiate fraudulent transactions, open new accounts in your name, or launch sophisticated phishing attacks to gain further access to your digital life.
