Phishing emails know everything about me?

Hello.

The Easypark app was hacked, and unfortunately, I used it too. Since then, I've been receiving a lot of phishing emails. What particularly surprises me is that they're trying to get me with things I actually use. For example, the Temu app or the Thermomix app or something else. With supposed offers and competitions. How is that possible? How exactly do they get this information? Is there still a risk if I don't open the emails and just delete them?

Not the app was hacked, but there was an attack on the provider’s servers and customer data was copied. That’s much worse.
It was to be expected that you could get Phishing Mails. They’re trying to get access to the services you use.

What protective measures do you have to take? Simply do not use the email address anymore. And, of course, use a strong password for all related services. Where it goes, activate 2FA. And definitely use a password manager!
