Drizly Data Breach: 2.5 Million Accounts May Have Been Hacked
Drizly confirmed it suffered a massive breach earlier this
month, saying data from 2.5 million accounts may have been stolen.
The alcohol delivery service confirmed Wednesday that a
hacker acquired some of its customer data, including emails, date-of-birth
information, passwords, and in some cases, addresses. The breach was first
reported by TechCrunch.
Drizly discovered the hack on July 13 and “quickly took
steps to tighten security and further reduce risk of attack,” the company said
in a statement. The company encouraged customers to change their passwords
nonetheless.
“This is an ongoing investigation,” a Drizly spokesperson
said. “We have been in contact with and are cooperating with federal law
enforcement.”
TechCrunch reported that it uncovered a dark web marketplace
that claimed to sell Drizly credit card account details. Drizly told CNN
Business that “with 100% certainty, no financial information — from neither
credit nor debit cards — was compromised.” TechCrunch also reported that
hackers may have obtained phone numbers, IP addresses, and geolocation data.
