But but they promised there were no banking details compromised! /s

Someone I know showed me the email they sent out, it was worded "we do not believe the impacted information includes customer credit card or bank details". Deliberately vague so they could walk it back if caught out (as they now have been).

As an ex customer who was certainly caught up in this shit: i have received no fucking email

"Are they still paying us?" "No, they left a while ago." "Fuck em." - How I assume the conversation on that went.

(Probably too much to ask that they had deleted your info after you left so couldn't actually contact you.)

Oh you know they didn't.

I should check if I got caught up via haveibeenpwnd, isn't there now mandatory reporting?
