The email detailed the names, addresses, telephone numbers, taxpayer registration numbers, investment account number and email addresses of  the company's clients.
 
Chief  Executive Officer of  VMBS, Courtney Campbell, says the breach was caused by human error and he does not believe the information released can be used to commit identify theft.
