The personal information of these customers was potentially compromised during the incident. The bits of information include:

- Usernames and passwords of Neiman Marcus online accounts

- Payment card numbers and expiration dates (although no CVV numbers)

- Neiman Marcus virtual gift card numbers (without PINs)
