Non-dev here, I think the small business I work for was involved in this data leak. I started a project with a developer on Fivver - he is very well rated and has an extensive portfolio, so I felt comfortable working with him. Last week, he gave me a requirement document that I filled out with our info (stripe integration API keys, domain access, etc.) and a few days after I sent the PDF over Fivver we received a fraudulent charge for 4 tickets to (of all places) SEAWORLD. It had the owners full name, address, email, phone number, and debit card. I at first thought this was the dev himself, but now after seeing this recent news I believe it could be Fivver directly - any thoughts would be appreciated!
