There’s been a data breach at Evolve Bank & Trust.
Evolve Bank & Trust is a regulated bank that we worked with from 2020 until 2023 to provide your old USD account details. They’ve recently been affected by a data breach and some of your personal information may have been involved.
This personal information does not include copies of any of the identification documents you’ve shared with us — these have not been shared with Evolve Bank & Trust at any point.
Your Wise account is safe
We no longer work with Evolve Bank & Trust, and have already strengthened our security measures. We’ve also started a thorough investigation into this data breach and can confirm that it has not impacted our systems. This means:
• your Wise account credentials, including your password, are safe, and you can use your account as normal
• you can continue to use your USD account details — these are no longer connected to Evolve Bank & Trust
• you can continue to use any Wise cards you may have as they were not impacted by this issue – your card number and PIN are safe
I received the same thing. What they don’t say is if your routing/account number used in transfers to/from your Wise account has been leaked. Same for any KYC info that the bank might need, such as name or SSN.
The EBT routing and account numbers are no longer valid since they migrated so even if they leaked that is irrelevant. But you’re right about personal data, I suspect names leaked.
I've asked them:
a) _what_ details may have been involved. Currently the criminals know more than we do.
b) why EBT had any data if Wise stopped working with then in 2023.
I'd except there to be a fairly strong obligation (probably on both parties) under GDPR to ensure that EBT destroyed that data.
