Uber eats hacked

[robfosters]

My Uber eats account was hacked last night. Greedy, thieving tossbags helped themselves to £20 worth of maccies.

Luckily Monzo refunded me within the hour as Uber themselves can’t even be bothered to reply to my messages. Going to deregister all my cards with these services and stick to Apple Pay in future.

my iPad was flashing up messages of a data breach at Uber and my account was signed into from 2 different locations, Hackney and Bury. Giving you guys a warning as it’s probably not just my details that have been got at.

Takeaway scams have been going on for a while. Once someone gains access to your account they just buy takeaways with it.

I had it done to me as well and I don't even order takeaways online.

Do Monzo write the refund off or do they try to claim it from Uber?

I'm not sure, that's for them to deal with and a slong as you get your money back let them worry about that. That's their problem to deal with the fraud.

On most websites, they use an Authentication system whereby you have to enter your pin. For some reason it’s not used on Uber.

A pin would be a nice edition. I have never had to fill a pin in anywhere.

Uber supports 2FA and by extension so does Uber Eats. Install Uber on your phone, set up the 2FA and if you don’t use their taxi service then you can remove it after. Uber Eats should ask you for your 2FA code when you next log in.

EDIT: Sorry you got ripped off.

surely that's a really dumb idea, basically giving uber your address to hand over to the police?

When the order gets ordered to somewhere different though not traceable.

Whos doesn’t? The people ordering it? They do cos it gets delivered to them to an address which is untraceable to them.

You think scammers use their real permanent address?

Seriously?

The food gets ordered to someone else you can order what you like to anywhere once the order is processed.

The same thread that bought us such thought leadership as hackers hacking food sites will buy food once said food site is hacked

And unfortunately people who think they are entering their pin on an online transaction which is deeply worrying for many reasons

Gutted rob, at least you got your cash back, i heard someone over at hUKd's talking about uber eats being rife for fraud/hacking so i set up the 2fa,
i only have Paypal linked to it and i have 2fa set up on that as well so hopefully something will flag up if someone tries anything

When you say your account was 'hacked' it is much more likely that your credentials have been compromised on another website. Presumably you use the same password for many sites (I know you'll tell me you don't, but you clearly do as this issue you've just encountered isn't endemic of Uber, it'd be on the news ).

Mate if your entering your pin number on a website you doing something seriously wrong

it wouldn't be a bank card pin, it'd be a pin you create yourself just on that website, i had to do it when i joined Sky Vegas a couple of weeks ago

Its not a website, its an authorisation procedure on the Monzo app. When you click to buy, a notification comes up on your phone from Monzo, and you enter the pin to authorise the transaction. Its a mastercard ID check.
