All they wanted was a quick delivery.

Instead,Historical Archives millions of DoorDash customers now find themselves the victims of a massive hack that exposed personal details such as delivery addresses, emails, and more. Oh, and it's not just those who ordered food on the receiving end of this security nightmare. Those using the platform to deliver food, known as "Dashers," as well as some merchants, also had their data accessed by hackers.

DoorDash says that 4.9 million merchants, dashers, and customers were affected by the breach. Specifically, those who began using the service before April 5 of 2018. If you joined after, you're allegedly in the clear.

The company says it discovered the breach earlier this month, and determined that an "unauthorized third party" got access to DoorDash data on May 4 of this year.

According to DoorDash, that data includes "names, email addresses, delivery addresses, order history, phone numbers, as well as hashed, salted passwords."
