Nearly 300,000 passengers using taxi apps that are powered by iCabbi, a Dublin-based cloud-based taxi dispatch system provider, had their personally identifiable information exposed according to cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler.
The key findings are the following:
- Over 22,000 records;
- Several .csv documents revealing customers’ PII such as names, email addresses, phone numbers;
- Hundreds of thousands of email addresses including from renowned media outlets and government agencies.
Should this data had been discovered by ill-intentioned hackers could have put their users across the UK and Ireland at risk to phishing attacks, identity or financial theft, and more.
