Data breach — Critical

In October 2025, Canadian Tire suffered a data breach. 38 million accounts were affected. The exposed data includes dates of birth, email addresses, names, banking data, passwords, phone numbers and postal addresses.

## Exposed data

- Date of birth
- Email address
- Full name
- Banking data (IBAN, card)
- Password (hashed)
- Phone number
- Postal address

## What you can do

- Change that password — and everywhere you reused it. That is how a leak spreads to your other accounts.
- Turn on two-factor authentication on the affected accounts: a stolen password is then no longer enough.
- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- Watch your statements. On any unknown debit, block the card and request a refund — French law (art. L133-18) entitles you to it.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
