PaySystem.tech Data Breach (2022)

If you are a customer of PaySystem.tech, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In mid-2022, data alleged to have been sourced from the Russian payment provider PaySystem.tech appeared in hacking circles where it was made publicly available for download. Consisting of 16M rows with 1.4M unique email addresses, the data also included purchases and full credit card numbers and expiry dates. The data could not be independently attributed back to PaySystem.tech and the breach has been flagged as "unverified".

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on PaySystem.tech.

Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.

Were you a PaySystem.tech customer?

PaySystem.tech is one listing. Your email is probably in others.

1.4M accounts were exposed here. Check whether yours is one — and find every other leak tied to the same address, in about 15 seconds. No account, no card.
