I am still confused for days whether this is a real news or a hoax. Only a substack user saying they received this email. I did not. And there is no official statement by Substack. What is really going on here?
parable•59m ago
I've seen the leaked data posted on forums. I'm assuming they're trying to minimize the bad PR from this incident by only doing what's legally required, which is to notify affected users. They're likely not obligated to notify the broader public. Whether they should be obligated to do so is another discussion entirely.

I hate it when companies do this.

passwords and credit card numbers are easily changed.

names, emails and phone numbers are not.

parable•1h ago
This is what I've been saying for years. I really could care less if my passwords were leaked. My phone number, on the other hand, is near-impossible to change. The fact that VoIP/virtual numbers are blacklisted from use almost everywhere doesn't help anything, because otherwise I would just use a ton of cheap rented numbers.

The same goes for full names on file, physical addresses, and other hard-to-change information. Passwords have been the least of my concerns since password managers were invented.

You could, in theory, use a custom domain or email aliasing service like SimpleLogin or Addy to combat the email address issue, though websites like GitHub have been known to block emails created with an aliasing service. I could go on about why that move does next to nothing to combat actual abuse; any spammer worth their salt can just buy a bunch of Gmail accounts or Outlook accounts instead.
