Not just CPF and names were leaked, lots of correlated information was leaked too, such as credit scores, civil status (married, single, etc), gender, birth date, e-mail, phone number, home and work addresses, education level, job, salary, net income, tons of data about bank accounts, even face pictures!

All that data, just available for anyone to dig in and do their worst.

Yeah, that's a bit more concerning. I only wanted to make the point that CPF is used very differently from how SSNs are used in the USA.

Yes, plenty of data for anyone wanting to impersonate you and do social engineering virtually everwhere in the Brazilian territory.
