Alcohol Delivery Service Drizly Confirms Data Breach (techcrunch.com) 15

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Online alcohol delivery startup Drizly has told customers that it was hit by a data breach. In an email to customers obtained by TechCrunch, the company said that a hacker "obtained" some customer data. The hacker took customer email addresses, date-of-birth, hashed passwords, and in some cases delivery addresses, the email read. Some 2.4 million Drizly accounts are believed to have been stolen. TechCrunch obtained a portion of the data, including several accounts of Drizly staff members. We verified the data against public records. The portion of data we obtained also contains user phone numbers, IP addresses, and geolocation data associated with the user's billing address.

Drizly did not say when the hack occurred or how many accounts were affected, but did advise users to change their passwords. The company said that no financial data was taken in the breach. But a listing on a dark web marketplace from a well-known seller of stolen data claims otherwise. The listing, which we are not linking to, claims to have "fresh hacked" [sic] Drizly accounts. The data is on sale for $14, at the time of writing . The seller did not say when the breach took place, but the listing appears to have been posted on February 13. Although no sample of data was offered, the listing claims to have valid Drizly credit card numbers and users' order history.

  • Now everybody knows I'm a lush.

  • Sounds like a delivery service for alcoholics.

      I suppose in the same way grocery delivery is for fat people.

      Never used either of them before, but coronavirus made both of them worthwhile services.

      • No, no, that would never work. Now, Tpsy sounds like a new unicorn to me.

      • I think Tipsy would be a better name. Kinda sounds like Etsy for drinkers and is the end result of consuming your order.

        Sure, if you only want to target alcoholics with your product.

        Enough of the verbal patty cake already. Just call it Drunky.

    • Finally, my nickname is ontopic.

      Just one little drinky-poo...

      • Hehe, yeah I was thinking of you!

        This is getting ridiculous with the breaches, between them and "Dave" getting hacked recently. This seems to be a new ride to the bottom - how fast can we can get hacked - in... wait for it... 28 seconds! A new world record!!

        • What I find amusing is that we seem to now be in an age many of us have foreseen, where all the good trademarks/domain names are taken, and the company names are really stupid. I might have imagined a name like Drizly if I took enough drugs, but I don't think I would have ever imagined Dave.

  • Someone must have stolen my identity and ordered those 12 cases of Bud Light Lima-A-Ritas! *shifty eyes*
    • That's not half as embarrassing as Zima 2.0 (aka white claw)

      • by JGrizz ( 6684828 )
        Fortunately, white claw didn't come until 2016, at which point I'd already been burned enough by flavored malt beverages to keep my distance. On a side note, I just came across this article in The Atlantic: The Justice Department Explains Why Bud Light Lime-a-Rita Is a 'Premium-Plus' Beer. ....
  • The most reliable is UPS. This is due to the fact that it is equipped with both air and ground volume facilities second to none. Capable of processing large volume shipments of any size. The second is FedEx. FedEx is equipped with both air and ground facilities as well but their ground facilities can only process limited average scale volume.
