On March 1, the information security service of Yandex.Food spoke about the discovery of a data leak. A press release from the company says that it occurred due to the unfair actions of one of the employees.

According to the service, as a result of a leak in the network, the phone numbers of customers and information about their orders, including the composition and delivery time, were published. The company claims that the leaked information did not contain bank payment or registration data of service users; this information is safe, according to Yandex.

The company said it had conducted an internal audit. Based on its results, the approach to storing sensitive information, including that related to customer orders, was tightened. The company assures that it has provided this data with the necessary level of protection, which is comparable to the level of protection of payment information. In addition, the service will exclude the manual processing of such information and will reduce the number of employees who have access to it by a factor of three.

With regard to the guilty employee, Yandex promises to take legal action. The company applied to law enforcement agencies with a statement about unauthorized access to customer information, according to a press release on the Yandex website.
