Restaurant discovery and food ordering platform Zomato has reportedly suffered a security breach with over 17 million accounts of users now being sold on the dark web.
According to hackread.com, a vendor going by the online handle of “nclay” is claiming to have hacked Zomato and selling the data of its 17 million registered users on a popular dark web marketplace.
Zomato provides information about restaurants in over 10,000 cities across 23 countries. It was founded by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah.
Zomato assured that it would be taking steps to plug any security gaps and that No payment information or credit card data had been stolen/leaked. “As a precaution, we have reset the passwords for all affected users and logged them out of the app and website,” the post said.
