A security breach at Keystone Wallet exposed 25,964 buyer records, some retained after the firm's 180-day deletion policy due to an automated tool failure. The incident occurred in October 2026, and while the breach details are confirmed, the specific impact on user accounts and the full scope of data loss remain partially unknown.
