Chowbus Data Breach (2020)

If you are a customer of Chowbus, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In October 2020, the Asian food delivery app Chowbus suffered a data breach which led to over 800,000 records being emailed to customers. The email contained a link to a CSV file with customer data including physical addresses, names, phone numbers and over 444,000 unique email addresses.
