I find it hard to believe it was just 133 accounts. I just got an email saying mine was one of the accounts compromised, even though I haven't used Mailchimp in over 12 years, and don't remember having ever used them for anything material.
From what I remember either I deleted the account, or they closed for inactivity, so it's weird they still had my data.
- mrslave 4y agoUnless they expressly commit to deleting it, or you were paying per GB for storage, consider it saved forever.
- blowski 4y agoTrue, although I think the OP was highlighting the oddness of such a minor account being one of those compromised.

- password4321 4y agoI failed to convince them to undelete my account (the deadline is currently 2 years), but there is an HN support incident: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18715866#18717279 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18715866#18717279 Back in the day I thought "who better to retain a mailing list" but turns out I'd have been best off with a Google Sheet. Now I have to scrounge around in backups to see if I downloaded it anywhere... maybe I should start a support ticket here of my own!

A lot of companies have a habit of keeping data but not migrating dead customers to newer schemas and systems.
