Security News > 2020 > May > Home Chef Serves Up Data Breach for 8 Million Records
One of these, the popular Kroger's Home Chef service, recently served up a side of data breach along with its perfectly measured ingredients.
According to a notice posted on the Home Chef website, the company "Recently learned of a data security incident impacting select customer information." That info includes email addresses, names, phone numbers, encrypted passwords and the last four digits of credit-card numbers.
Perhaps most importantly for any fraudsters planning to use the information, "Other account information such as frequency of deliveries and mailing address may also have been compromised," Home Chef said - data that a cybercriminal could use to cook up a convincing phishing email.
In all, 8 million records were put up for sale from Home Chef starting two weeks ago, according to the outlet.
The Shiny Hunters group made a splash earlier this month, allegedly compromising 73.2 million user records from over 11 companies worldwide.
