The home delivery service DoorDash has just announced a massive data breach of its main customer servers.
According to the company, “approximately 4.9 million consumers, Dashers, and merchants who joined our platform on or before April 5, 2018, are affected.”
Hackers gained access to users’ names, driver’s license numbers, email addresses, delivery addresses, order history, and phone numbers.
They are now encouraging their users to create a new passwords that are unique to DoorDash.
Breaches like this one are a reminder that any business holding sensitive customer records needs a secure way to store and share those files, which is where tools like VaultDocSites come into play for locking down documents behind encryption and controlled access. For a company sitting on driver’s license numbers and delivery addresses, keeping that paperwork in a protected system rather than loose email attachments is one of the simplest ways to limit the fallout when someone does get in.
If you’d like any additional information, the company has now set up a dedicated call center available 24/7 for support. The call center number is 855-646-4683.
