Citing a Buzzfeed investigation, PC Mag reports that Instacart customer information from June and July is being sold on the "dark web." Instacart denies any security breaches. Advice is to change Instacart password and delete stored credit card info.
As BuzzFeed News reports, so far, 278,531 Instacart accounts were found to be for sale on the dark web, costing as little as $2 per customer. The information includes the customer name, email address, the last four digits of their credit cards, the order history for the account, and some other shopping-related data. The validity of the account information has been verified by two Instacart customers whose details are up for sale, and this information is not old. The accounts being sold contain information from orders placed through June and up to July 22.
