Google-backed Indian hyperlocal delivery service Dunzo said it suffered a data breach that left customer data including email IDs and phone numbers exposed.<\/p>\n
Dunzo provides pick up and deliver services in over seven cities in India. Given the majority of India’s business relies on offline commerce, through Dunzo, you can ask a delivery person to visit a shop to purchase something and deliver it to you for nominal fees. The service also allows you to pick up a package from a friend’s place and drop it at your home.<\/p>\n
The company said that hackers gained unauthorized access to one of its databases:<\/p>\n
\nRecently, our team identified a security breach that involved unauthorized access to one of our databases. While we are still investigating, we believe it is our responsibility to inform you as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It added that financial details such as credit card information and transaction details were not compromised. Dunzo said a server of a third-party service that it used to store its databases was breached. The startup didn’t give any detail about this third-party service.<\/p>\n
For security measures, the company has now secured all its databases and changed accesses tokens and passwords to prevent any further data breach.<\/p>\n
At the moment, it’s not clear data of how many customers were compromised. We’ve asked Dunzo for more details, and we’ll update the story if we hear back.<\/p>\n
