Notifications and litigation summaries described exposure of names, usernames, hashed passwords, birthdates, contact and payment-card fields (often truncated), and for some taskers bank-account and Social Security number details—varying by user cohort. Public estimates of impacted individuals frequently cited on the order of 3.7–3.8 million reco Exposed categories include Names, usernames, passwords (hashed), DOB, contact data, truncated bank/card data; tasker financial and tax identifiers for subset per nature-of-service. BreachHistory cites approximately 3.8M+ affected records in this row. See the taskrabbit2018 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
