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.
Oh well that’s disappointing.
What’s interesting is that they edited this page 6 days ago. Previously it talked about Persona.

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.
