Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the food delivery service GrubHub served up a mega side of data breach with a sprinkle of cybersecurity chaos. It’s a classic case of “you ordered fries, but got a data leak” instead. I guess even online ordering platforms need to keep a close eye on their menus and their third-party providers. Now, who’s ready to change some passwords as an appetizer?

Key Points:

  • GrubHub experienced a data breach involving customer and driver information.
  • The breach was linked to a compromised account from a third-party support service provider.
  • Exposed information includes names, emails, phone numbers, and hashed passwords from legacy systems.
  • No passwords associated with GrubHub Marketplace accounts, full card numbers, or sensitive financial data were accessed.
  • No ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
