DoorDash Does It Again — Another Shiny Data Breach Because Why the Hell Not?

Oh look, DoorDash managed to screw the pooch once more. Apparently, these geniuses got hit by yet *another* data breach in October, because securing customer data is obviously a goddamn optional extra. This time, some third-party vendor they work with got compromised — because outsourcing incompetence is *so* on-trend right now — and now user info’s been spilled across the digital gutter for anyone to ogle.

The compromised info includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and delivery details. So yeah, that time you had tacos delivered at 2 a.m. — someone now knows about it. Thankfully, payment data wasn’t exposed, which is about the only thing they didn’t completely bollocks up. DoorDash, in their infinite wisdom, swears they’ve patched the issue and are “working with experts” — you know, the same vague, meaningless PR crap they trot out every damn time.

Oh, and the cherry on this data-breach sundae? This isn’t their first rodeo. Nope. It’s déjà vu from 2019 when they also managed to leak millions of users’ info. You’d think after the first public flogging, they’d have learned their lesson. But nope — DoorDash apparently treats data protection like a drive-thru order: fast, sloppy, and totally half-assed.

So yeah, DoorDash users, if your inbox suddenly explodes with spam or phishing attempts, you know who to thank. At this point, betting on another breach next year feels like the safest gamble in tech.

Reminds me of the time a sysadmin I knew kept restoring the same infected backup over and over again, wondering why the network was still on fire. Some people just *love* burning down their own infrastructure. DoorDash seems to be running from that same goddamn playbook.
