As someone who is fully drunk on Monzo kool-aid, well done to them on (a) identifying the problem and (b) immediately telling customers what to do.
Imagine how long this would have been an issue if it had happened at Barclays or TSB.

Equifax was a "security blunder of the highest order". This is an it-happened-to-Facebook-and-Google "shit, some sensitive info ended up in internal logs" blunder where there's no reason to suspect the PINs actually leaked out of the company. And even if they did, a PIN on its own is not sensitive information - unlike a password, it's just a 4 digit number, there's only 10000 of them. And unlike SSNs, they can be changed. I can tell you my PIN is 1077 and what on earth are you going to do with that information?
No information was leaked... it's really kind of a non-issue. Monzo's approach is radical transparency. Any other bank probably would have never said anything.
How can you be sure of that?
I don’t know what any of these words mean, and I’m relatively technical
The sign-in I use requires a password (something you know) and a OTP generated by an irretrievable key, eg, something I have.
Using LineageOS lets you do many more awesome things with your device, but financial apps (and even some apps like bus ticket apps) often don't work on this setup because it's viewed as insecure.
