What Happened
In June 2020, the Egyptian bus operator Swvl suffered a data breach which impacted over 4 million members of the service. The exposed data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, profile photos, partial credit card data (type and last 4 digits) and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes, all of which was subsequently shared extensively throughout online hacking communities. The data was provided to HIBP by breachbase.pw.
