Subscription meal kit service Home Chef has confirmed that it recently suffered a data breach impacting customer information.
Earlier this month, a group of hackers referred to as 'Shiny Hunters' started advertising on the dark web data stolen in several fresh data breaches, including information claimed to have been stolen from Home Chef.
At the time, the hackers were demanding $2,500 for the data stolen from Home Chef, claiming to be in the possession of no less than 8 million such records.
Chicago-based Home Chef this week confirmed the breach, saying that the incident has impacted "Select customer information."
Home Chef also explained that not all of its customers were impacted in the incident, and that those who did not receive a notification of the breach yet were likely not affected, at least not directly.
