Hackers compromised mobile-based Asian food delivery service Chowbus, stole customer data, and emailed victims a link pointing to the stolen data.

Information in the CSV files included names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, rates, and addresses for the Chowbus partner restaurants.

The information has already been uploaded to data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned, which noted that the database included a total of 444,224 Chowbus accounts.

One of the affected users said on Reddit that the food delivery service was quick to plug the security hole and secure its systems.

"We became aware of the situation at approximately 1:30 a.m. CDT on October 5 and are working diligently to address the matter. We take our responsibility for privacy and security seriously, and we are working to discover additional facts. We expect to provide additional information to our community in the coming days," Chowbus said, responding to a SecurityWeek inquiry.
