Uber eats hacked

builder22 said:
had over 1k taken from my credit card once for an AirBnB that was nothing to do with me....thought it was a bit of a strange choice as they'd obv have to use the AirBnB in some way and risk getting caught....never considered it was actually to get a Big Mac :p

seriously tho...never thought about them getting other more expensive things delivered to the AirBnB

Finally someone gets it.

That Airbnb will have had all sorts delivered to it over a period of a day or two.

Yeah but these hackers aren't making bank off McDonald's. That's just a side scam.

Talk about hyperbole. His UberEats account was compromised. You've now made it sound like an episode of the Hustle/24/Luther is going on.

Jesus your really struggling.

The people responsible won't just be doing 1 scam using a single Uber eats account.

They will be running 20 different scams.

Credit cards, account details, identity theft, etc.

Like I've already said above. My dad's O2 account had 2 iPhones ordered on it.

The dad that gave you all the houses? Is that why you have them, for these McDonald's scams?

sounds like these hackers have some mad it skills, wonder why they're not bothering with bigger targets, or better yet putting that skill into a legitimate career.....

You think people are risking prison to scam £40 when they have the skills to hack Uber?

They aren't hacking Uber :D god I thought this was a tech forum.

You can buy lists of plain text passwords and emails from a number of websites on Tor. People chance the fact that idiots who have been told time and time again to not use the same password in multiple places actually do (sorry to your dad and rob for being caught up in that idiots comment).

Maybe they've cracked SHA256 and just don't want to let the world know, but at the same time need to make calls and they're hungry?

Well they will be ordering more than just £40 of food through all these accounts they have access to through emails and password lists.

How else do you explain my card being used for dominoes twice then at House of Fraser?

Did they just buy my card on the dark web?

Luckily what they lack in morals they make up for in common sense. 'hey jack shall we order hundreds of quids of food we don't need and draws attention/needs binning or just be a bit spicy and maybe add some extra nugs and a garlic dip?'

Pretty much, yes. But in your example it was much more likely the underlying card details were the thing acquired versus a login to his personal account.

It's funny how that card (I have several) is used for a specific purpose.

I only used it at 1 location as I didn't travel much for business that year. The location being Birmingham airport.

It's funny how within weeks it was being used all over Birmingham.

So they sold it on the dark web to someone who just happened to also live in Birmingham?

No it's more likely the card cloners cloned the card for their own personal use. Dominoes was a test purchase to make sure the card worked. I know this because it's the same MO as loads of other folk who have had their cards cloned. They then the following day have shedloads of orders placed at placed like house of Fraser.

The scammers aren't going to be risking jail just for free McDonald's every few days. They will be scamming much more expensive stuff they can either use or sell on.

Your missing the point - card details being compromised isn't what happened to the OP. It certainly sounds like yours were cloned and used locally which is a whole lot higher risk (and therefore needs higher reward) than someone chancing a password and ordering a 40 quid maccies to a shopping centre.

The fact you said your Dad's O2 account also makes his story more similar to OP than your story.

Moral of the story? Buy everything on CC and use different passwords for everything to mitigate the risk.

Yeah in ops case it's just his Uber eats account. But the people doing these likley are doing a lot more than just scamming food for £20-£40 a pop.

That's usually just a quick easy hit and easy to exploit.

Folk were wondering about addresses so I expanded it's usually temporary accommodation they rinse it and then move on to the next one.

We've had a load of break ins in my area. I asked the copper about the cars I captured on CCTV. They said they are using the same car but they have like 20 regi plates in the boot and just change it so it's impossible to track.

They are also targeting specific houses and looking for specific items. He also explained how they find their targets and I was amazed at how simple it was and wondered why nobody had used this resource before.

Thieves are getting smarter and they aren't just looking for a big Mac in most cases.
