The attacks started hitting Brazil, and it'll be really bad! Multiple people that uses Caixa (in general) aren't tech savvy and could be caught by fraudsters more easily.

How dystopian is it to find reassuring in this situation that a customer doesn't have to wonder whether their data was leaked because it's "all"?

This is a small subset actually as nearly every adult citizen has an account with Caixa.

Oof. There's a Catalan bank/insurer called la caixa as well, i thought for a moment it was the same company. But appears not.

I thought the same for a second. Caixa means box both in catalan and portuguese
