The popular trading app Robinhood announced Monday that millions of its users had their personal information exposed in a data breach.

In a blog post, Robinhood explained that an "unauthorized third party" engineered the leak through its customer support systems. Users' bank account information, Social Security numbers and other financial data does not appear to have been affected.

There were no monetary losses.
