Deliveroo customers get hacked, go hungry and foot the bill

If you're being charged by Deliveroo for food you did not order, do not ignore it, as a new investigation by BBC One Watchdog has discovered customers being hacked on a large scale.

Launched in 2013, Deliveroo is a company which is enjoying success as a new player in the takeaway industry. You order from local restaurants through a smartphone app, delivery riders jump on their bicycles or scooters and peddle your food to you, most often within the hour.

Most of the time, as a service I too have used, it's a good system. However, there is one key element which is placing customers at risk -- and cyberattackers are exploiting it. When you've signed up for an account, you do not need to enter the security code on the back of your card for each order.
