Bank account details and tax identification numbers are among the most sensitive financial data points a consumer can share, and their collection by an online platform creates meaningful exposure to financial fraud if the data is compromised.
Creators share bank account information and tax identification data directly with OnlyFans, meaning a breach or data misuse could result in financial fraud or identity theft with direct monetary consequences.
