What happened

In August 2022, the online faeces delivery service Shitexpress suffered a data breach that exposed 24k unique email addresses. The addresses spanned invoices, gift cards, promotions and PayPal records. The breach also exposed the IP and email addresses of senders, physical addresses of recipients and messages accompanying the shit delivery.

What was exposed, and why it matters

Not all breaches carry the same risk — what matters is which fields leaked. Here is what the Shitexpress breach exposed and what each item actually enables:

Home addresses

Home addresses feed people-search and data-broker sites, which republish them publicly. They also make phishing far more convincing and, in the worst cases, enable real-world harassment.

Private messages

Personal correspondence can be used for blackmail or social engineering, and often contains other sensitive details you have forgotten sharing.

Names and usernames

Links this leak to your other accounts — a reused username lets anyone build a profile of you across platforms.

Email addresses

Puts you on spam and phishing lists, and confirms to attackers that you hold an account with this service — which makes impersonation emails more believable.

IP addresses

Reveals your approximate location and internet provider, which adds credibility to targeted scams.

Also listed in this breach: Email addresses, IP addresses, Names, Physical addresses, Private messages, Purchases.

What to do if you were affected

These steps are ordered for this specific breach — the most urgent action given what leaked comes first.

  1. Home addresses: Get your address removed from data brokers — they re-list roughly every four months, so this needs repeating.
  2. Private messages: Consider what was discussed on this service and whether anything needs changing (shared passwords, personal disclosures).
  3. Names and usernames: Search your usual username to see what else it exposes, and use distinct handles for sensitive accounts.
  4. Email addresses: Treat any message referencing this service with suspicion, and never act on links in unexpected emails.
  5. IP addresses: No direct action needed, but be wary of anyone quoting your location as “proof” of identity.
  6. Check whether your own email appears in this breach — run a free scan to confirm before you spend time on the steps above.

This breach put your details on data-broker sites

Because Shitexpress exposed home addresses, this is one of the breaches that feeds people-search and data-broker sites. Those sites scrape leaked databases, combine them with public records, and republish the result as a searchable profile — which is how a single breach turns into a permanent public listing. Removal works, but brokers typically re-list within about four months, so it has to be repeated.

How urgent is this now?

This data has been circulating for around 4 years, which means it has been copied, combined with other leaks and indexed by search tools many times over.

Remember: a breach can't be "un-leaked" — once a database is out, it exists in countless copies. The goal is to make the leaked data useless: change what can be changed, lock down what can't, and remove what has been republished.
