Saturday Security: Socially Engineered Supply Chain Attack Exposes DoorDash Data

 

When it rains, it pours. DoorDash is once again in the cybersecurity spotlight after confirming a brand-new data breach—this time caused by a compromised third-party vendor. Attackers used social engineering to trick an employee into giving up credentials, then slipped through weaker defenses to access customer names, emails, delivery addresses, and partial payment info. What makes this breach different? 👉 DoorDash wasn’t directly hacked. 👉 The attackers went through the supply chain, proving—again—that vendors can be the biggest vulnerability in the security ecosystem. DoorDash says it has cut off the vendor’s access and is tightening monitoring and supply-chain controls. But the real takeaway is clear: even top brands can be blindsided when a trusted partner becomes the weakest link. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/doordash-hit-by-new-data-breach-in-october-exposing-user-information/ https://www.webpronews.com/doordashs-data-debacle-social-engineering-strikes-again-in-2025-breach/ Stay sharp out there. 💡 Lock down your credit. 📱 Watch for phishing, smishing, and credential-stealing scams. 🔐 Be aware, stay protected.
