180K Customers of PhysicalAddress.com Exposed in Hacker Forum Leak
A notorious hacker forum has become the epicenter of a fresh data leak, with a user going by the handle "gloomer" posting what they claim to be the personal and business information of over 180,000 customers of PhysicalAddress.com, a virtual mailbox and mail forwarding service.
The leak: emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses
In a post titled "PhysicalAddress.com [180K Customers]", published on April 2, 2025, the user gloomer shared a sample of the stolen data, which includes:
- Full names
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Physical mailing addresses
- Company details
The sample shared publicly showcases a range of personal and business information, some appearing to belong to individuals while others are clearly tied to organizations and mail forwarding clients. While the full dataset is gated behind a paywall (requiring forum credits to access), the preview alone suggests a potentially serious breach.
High ratings, low awareness?
The alleged breach comes as a surprise, especially considering PhysicalAddress.com enjoys a 4.8-star rating on Trustpilot from over 1,500 reviewers, with most praising its secure and reliable services.
As of publication, PhysicalAddress.com has not issued a public statement addressing the incident. Leakd.com has reached out to the company for comment and will update this article if a response is received.
Potential impact and risks
The leaked data could be exploited for:
- Identity theft
- Targeted phishing attacks
- Business impersonation scams
Cybersecurity experts recommend that PhysicalAddress.com users monitor their accounts, emails, and any mail-related services for suspicious activity. It's also advisable to enable two-factor authentication where possible and stay vigilant for unsolicited communications.
