What data was stolen in the Figure breach?
Dates of birth — used to verify identity for account takeover and fraud
Email addresses — used for phishing attacks and credential stuffing against your other accounts
Names — used to build profiles and target you with personalised scams
Phone numbers — enables SIM-swapping attacks and targeted SMS phishing
Physical addresses — combined with other data, used for identity theft and physical fraud
Is the Figure breach still dangerous in 2026?
Yes. Stolen data from the Figure breach remains dangerous years after the incident. Attackers routinely compile data from multiple breaches to build complete profiles, and credentials from 2026 are still actively used in automated attacks today.
Personal information like email addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth does not expire. Even if you changed your Figure password, the other exposed data can be combined with information from other breaches to target you. Learn how long stolen data stays dangerous.
What to do if your email was in the Figure breach
1
Change your Figure password immediately
Log into Figure and change your password to something strong and unique — one you have never used anywhere else. A password manager after a breach can generate and store a unique password so you never reuse one.
2
Change any account sharing that password
If you reused this password elsewhere, walk the password-reuse change checklist. You can also check whether that password appears in known leaks without sending the password itself.
3
Enable two-factor authentication
Turn on 2FA or a passkey after a breach on Figure and every important account. Even if your password is known, attackers cannot sign in without the second factor.
4
Check your other accounts for this breach
Run a full email scan to see every breach your address appears in — not just this one. Then follow the after-breach playbook. If a password from this incident is still in use, check it without sending the password itself.

Shrink people-search listings if your name or address was exposed
A leaked email plus a public people-search page makes phishing more convincing. That is a separate job from changing passwords. See the data broker opt-out guide for official forms and, if you want help, removal services.
