Indias largest online restaurant guide Zomato confirmed today that the company has suffered a data breach and that accounts details of millions of its users have been stolen from its database. In a blog post published today, the company said about 17 Million of its 120 Million user accounts from its database were stolen. The stolen account information includes user email addresses as well as hashed passwords. Also, Zomato stressed that the breach did not impact or compromise any payment card data, as the financial information of its customers is stored in a separate database different from the one illegally accessed.
