Foodora

In 2016, Foodora, a food delivery company, suffered a massive data leak that exposed personal information of its customers. The leaked data, which consisted of 582,578 records, revealed sensitive information including email addresses, real names, passwords, phone numbers, and home addresses.




The leaked data was shared online by an anonymous hacker, who claimed to have obtained it from an unsecured database. The hack was reportedly carried out through a SQL injection attack, which allows attackers to inject malicious code into a websites database and extract sensitive information.




The leaked data included a range of personal details, including:

* Email addresses
* Real names
* Passwords (in plain text)
* Phone numbers
* Home addresses




The hack raised serious concerns about the security of Foodoras systems and the potential risks to customers personal data. An investigation into the incident found that Foodora had failed to take adequate measures to protect customer data, leading to a significant breach of trust with its customers.




In response to the leak, Foodora issued a statement acknowledging the incident and apologizing for any inconvenience caused. The company advised customers to change their passwords and replace any security questions with new ones. However, the incident highlighted the importance of robust security measures to protect customer data and prevent similar breaches in the future.
