Why it matters

If the data is real, shoppers are exposed to personalized SMS phishing and fake delivery scams, since names, phone numbers and full addresses enable convincing attacks. The claim is unconfirmed, but abuse of the brand in scams can drive customer trust loss. Anyone buying on the marketplace could be in the alleged base.

What to do

Monitor underground forums for samples or confirmation of the leak and wait for an official statement from Ayan Market. Warn customers and staff about scams using the store's name. Ignore delivery or payment links sent by message.
