Didn’t Homejoy Shut Down?

Doesn't matter, it's still confidential information that can be used to verify you or used to social engineer more information about you. "Hi sir, I'm calling in because I lost access to my account, I don't have my current card, but I do have the last 4 of my previous that I used on this service, will that be good enough?"

Like don't reveal unnecessary information if you don't have to. It's low effort, high risk.
