The documents contained full names, mailing addresses, Social Security Numbers, National Insurance Numbers, and Service Numbers. They also included sensitive details like rank, branch of service, dates, and locations that must remain confidential.

Fowler stated that the dataset was from Forces Penpals, a dating service and social network for military members and their supporters. The researcher reported an issue to the authorities, who restricted access of the dataset on the next day.

It is not clear how long the dataset was publicly available. Only an internal forensic audit can reveal any additional access or suspicious activity.
