Freeze Your Credit, Change Your Passwords: DoorDash Data Breach Affects Almost 5 Million Customers

The food delivery app has recommendations for those who were affected.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — DoorDash says they've suffered a massive data breach affecting 4.9 million consumers. The company announced the breach on their blog Thursday.

They say they learned about the breach on May 4th of this year. However, the company says anyone who joined after April 5, 2018, was not affected.

But for those who were affected the following information could have been accessed:

- Names, email address, delivery address, order history, phone numbers, passwords

- The last four digits of payment cards. DoorDash insists that neither full credit card information of the CVV was accessed and that the last four digits are not enough to make fraudulent charges

- Dashers and merchants also had only the last four digits of their bank account numbers exposed

- About 100,000 dashers had their driver's license numbers accessed. 

DoorDash encourages everyone to change their password. 

And we encourage you to freeze your credit. It keeps crooks from opening up new credit lines while allowing you to still use your credit cards and loans.
