Amid a growing concern about the security of third-party services and providers, GrubHub has disclosed a data breach that exposed the personal information of an undisclosed number of customers, merchants and drivers. To give you an idea of how many people could be impacted, the service has over 375,000 merchants and 200,000 delivery partners in more than 4,000 cities nationwide.
In an announcement made yesterday, the company shared that attackers had breached its systems using an account belonging to a third-party service provider that provides support services. While GrubHub immediately terminated the account’s access and removed the service provider from its systems, unfortunately, the damage had already been done.
