Nearly two weeks after security researchers said they found usernames and passwords belonging to Home Chef users for sale, the Chicago-based company said a security incident has resulted in the compromise of information about an undisclosed number of its customers.

Indonesian e-commerce giant probes reported breach of 91 million credentials

Indonesia’s largest e-commerce platform says it’s investigating a possible data breach in which hackers claim to have stolen data about 91 million customers. Tokopedia, which is backed by $2 billion in funding from investors including SoftBank and Alibaba, told Reuters Saturday it was investigating an alleged theft of user data, though it maintained that user passwords were still encrypted.
