Instacart has been hacked in 2021. The company’s website was taken down for a short time on Monday, July 3, and users could not place orders. The company later announced that hackers had stolen customer data, including names, email addresses, and phone numbers.
Instacart said that no payment information was taken, and that customers would not be charged for any orders that were placed while the website was down. Instacart is currently working with law enforcement to investigate the attack.
Instacart is one of the largest online grocery delivery services in the United States. The company has more than 2,000 participating stores in the U.S. and Canada, and more than 10 million customers.
Instacart has been the Target of cybercrime attacks in the past, and the company has responded by increasing its security measures. In March 2019, Instacart was the victim of a data theft, in which hackers stole customer information from more than 1,000 stores.
