"The name, contact number, email and shipping address within certain orders may have been exposed."
I really hate that most companies force me to give a phone number when I buy something. Why do they need it? Why forcing? I usually end up giving a fake one.
- pera 7y agoI believe small vendors need it to verify that you really are the owner of the CC (it's a requirement of the processor).
- clintonb 7y agoPhone numbers are not required for credit card processing. Address, yes. Phone, no.
- poxrud 7y agoAddress is also not a requirement.

- pera 7y agoAh yeah I think you are correct, AVS is sometimes required. Sorry for the confusion.
