Anyway, credit reporting agencies have your most recent address on file and in cases like this where they get involved, they usually look up your account number to find your address so you're properly notified. They wouldn't rely on the mailing address kept on your account at FT86SF (Also explains why people didnt receive emails, credit reporting agencies dont keep your email on file)

Not really. To change someone address you just need a debit or credit card, name, and address. The same information that was stolen in the FT86SF breach.
