Ola cabs, A Taxi hiring website was hacked yesterday and user details like Credit cards and unused vouchers were accessed by the hackers. The Ola firm has denied the same by stating that there was no security lapse only the dummy user information was accessed.
The website was hacked by the team of hackers who call themselves "TheUnknown" by putting a post headlining "OLACABS.COM hacked!" Ola`s design is poor and we have been able to access user details along with credit card details and unused vouchers.
However, it is unclear whether the hack was restricted to only website or the application was also compromised, with neither the hackers or the firm providing any details whatsoever.
There has been no security lapse to any user data. The hack has been staged which exposed one of our test runs.
The hackers in a Reddit post have claimed that they hacked the website but the company is denying the hack. The hackers also said that they won`t be misusing the credit cards and vouchers.
Ola(formerly know as Ola Cabs) was founded in 2011, IIT Bombay alumni Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati.
