About This Breach
In November 2023, Vruum, a United Kingdom vehicle-rental and ride-hailing mobile application (vruum.co.uk), suffered a data breach that exposed its application database. The leaked records contained the email addresses, first and last names, telephone numbers and account passwords of its registered riders and drivers. The majority of user and driver passwords were stored in plaintext, while a small number were stored as unsalted MD5 hashes. The database was subsequently distributed through a Telegram marketplace channel.
