More than 2 million user records from TaxAct allegedly acquired; 450k already leaked
An anonymous source reported acquiring over 2 million records from TaxAct (owned by Cinven) containing client phone numbers, usernames, and email addresses on August 13. Approximately 450,000 of these records have already been leaked publicly, though some phone numbers in the dataset are not valid.
Why it matters: TaxAct users face credential exposure and potential phishing or identity theft targeting tax records; practitioners should advise clients to monitor accounts, change passwords, and watch for fraud activity.
