DoorDash said the personal information of some of its customers and delivery workers was compromised in a #databreach that stemmed from a phishing attack against a company it does business with. @BreeJFowlerhttps://t.co/EqFdYswxrs
DoorDash said the personal information of some of its customers and delivery workers was compromised in a data breach that stemmed from a phishing attack against a company it does business with.
The stolen data included customer names, email addresses, delivery addresses and phone numbers. A smaller number of customers also had basic order data and partial payment card information stolen, according to a notice posted on the food delivery company’s website on Thursday. More-sensitive information, like full credit card numbers and account passwords, weren’t compromised, the notice said.
The breach itself actually happened two weeks before that, the company said, and involved attackers getting into the system where LastPass keeps the source code of its software.
From there, LastPass reported, the attackers “took portions of source code and some proprietary LastPass technical information.”
We didn’t write this incident up last week, because there didn’t seem to be a lot that we could add to the LastPass incident report – the crooks rifled through their proprietary source code and intellectual property, but apparently didn’t get at any customer or employee data.
In other words, we saw this as a deeply embarrassing PR issue for LastPass itself, given that the whole purpose of the company’s own product is to help customers keep their online accounts to themselves, but not as an incident that directly put customers’ online accounts at risk.
Data of over 2.5 million individuals with student loans from Oklahoma Student Loan Authority (OSLA) and EdFinancial was exposed after hackers breached the systems of technology services provider Nelnet Servicing. @billtoulas#databreach@BleepinComputerhttps://t.co/IrPZN2p06h
Data for over 2.5 million individuals with student loans from Oklahoma Student Loan Authority (OSLA) and EdFinancial was exposed after hackers breached the systems of technology services provider Nelnet Servicing.
Technology services from Nelnet Servicing, including a web portal, are used by OSLA and EdFinancial to give online access students taking out a loan access to their loan accounts.
Sometime in June, unidentified intruders compromised Nelnet Servicing and stayed on its systems until July 22. The hackers compromised the company’s network likely after exploiting a vulnerability.
About 2,501,324 individuals have been impacted by the breach.
Russian media streaming platform ‘START’ (start.ru) has confirmed rumors of a data breach impacting millions of users.
The platform’s administrators shared that network intruders managed to steal a 2021 database from its systems and are now distributing samples online.
The stolen database contains email addresses, phone numbers, and usernames. START characterizes it as uninteresting to most cybercriminals as it can’t be used for taking over accounts.
Financial information, bank card data, browsing history, or user passwords have not been impacted because these details were not present in the database.
“We have already fixed the vulnerability, and access to our data is closed,” mentions the statement on Telegram.
Even though a global reset isn’t enforced by START, it is recommended that all users change their passwords.
Neopets has released details about the recently disclosed data breach incident that exposed personal information of more than 69 million members.
