DoorDash announced the breach in a Thursday press release, taking pains to insist that it "[takes] the security of our community very seriously."
When a company opens a press release with that sentence, you know you're truly screwed.
"We deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience that this may cause you," insists the company.
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."

"For some consumers, the last four digits of consumer payment cards," explained the company in the aforementioned press release. "For some Dashers and merchants, the last four digits of their bank account number."
Approximately 100,000 Dashers also had their drivers license numbers "accessed."
