Allegedly stolen VirtualMacOSX information included 176,000 lines of data across three different text files, which included customers' full names, company names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, and password reset keys, according to an analysis from the SafetyDetectives Cybersecurity Team.
