so what's the big deal? (barely) every bank in the world has access to the world check database and there is no "secret data" in it. Just a collection of public records...

I wouldn’t consider passport, social security, or bank account numbers “public records”.
Unless it is a different subscription, I've never seen such information in the worldcheck database.
From TFA:

> The data varies by record. The database contains names, passport numbers, Social Security numbers, online crypto account identifiers and bank account numbers, and more.
