No business role needs all that info. Why was all of that in one place to steal?

Perhaps I'm missing something? Name, address, phone number, and email address doesn't sound like a lot of information to store in a single database. Frankly it's just the customer table in many much larger databases that I've seen.
Every internet order I've placed required that information for the order.

Yes, there is absolutely no reason for a (checks notes) freight delivery company to know their customer's name, home address, email and phone number.

”Banks” struggling to stay solvent in a competitive market might choose to glob themselves onto any headline story about consumer crime in order to try and parlay their failures into something other than their own internal greed.
We already know how desperate “Retailers” are, slinging marketing strategies that would make seasoned OF creators blush.
