In a rare acknowledgment of a data breach by an Indian company, online restaurant guide and food ordering service Zomato says 17 million users' email addresses and hashed passwords were stolen from its database. The company has 120 million users. On late Thursday night, Zomato updated its blog saying it had managed to contact the hacker, who agreed to not only destroy all copies of the data, but also to take the database off the dark web marketplace.
