We've got another popular and very commonplace smartphone app to add the list of apps and services that have either been hacked or suffered a data breach so far in 2021. This time it's ParkMobile, an app that's pretty popular across North America (operating in more than 450 cities) that lets you find and pay for parking spaces using the app or online.
Information about the breach comes from cybersecurity-focused investigative reporter Brian Krebs, who's reported that someone is selling account information for 21 million customers of the app and that the stolen data includes email addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, license plate numbers, hashed passwords -- basically, all the personal details on individuals that hackers could have a field day with. ParkMobile published its own notification about this incident for consumers first back at the end of March, and then it shared another update late last week with details about the data breach, which you can check out below.
