Hi BishBosh, It isn't a company, it's a Data Breach.
See:

Hi, Thanks for the update. Ive read the links you posted. With all the other companies!! I have been able to update my password etc to perhaps prevent any further leaks from my system. With the "Data Breach" do we know or can we find out to what the impact on me it will cause? Or is this just a general all your data is out there nothing anyone can do?
I suggest contacting the financial institutions that you deal with. Maybe just a general inquiry at their Customer Support site, to begin with.
Check back on Firefox Monitor. It will break down the impact that this breach has had on you. Don't get too nervous about it. This breach was back in March and it is widely known among companies and financial institutions.
Thanks
Whenever I can;t information about a company recommended to me by some software or service, I avoid that company or any of its products or services like it was the plague, ebola. the black death.
