Zomato Hacked, Data Of 17 Million Stolen. Twitter Sticks To Making Jokes

New Delhi: Users of Zomato woke up to the news of a major security breach at the app with over 17 million user account records stolen. Usernames and hashed passwords have been leaked in the hack but the company insisted that payment details and addresses of users were not compromised. In a blog post, Zomato informed customers that they have reset passwords for all the affected users and logged them out of the app. The company also advised users to change their passwords if they had used the same one on any other platform.

As worried users took steps to safeguard themselves from the hack, many on Twitter were occupied with more pressing issues - making jokes.

Some were legitimately worried that the data should never ever reach their moms
