I have a negative credit balance in #Careem app. Is there by any chance that the hackers could reset it to 0? pic.twitter.com/DVzaxq2loZ

This was quite funny by the way. Here is another one:

Heard #Careem came under a cyber attack, and hackers stolen some data.
I am hopeful that my negative balance of Rs 110 would become clear.

On serious note, go for it:

As a Precautionary measure, Please change your Careem’s password as well as all the places where you have used the same password. Also contact your bank to block your Debit/Credit Card that was attached with #Careem 4/4

Careem Cyber Attack is some thing to worry:

– #Careem data-breach: You cannot change your mobile number!It’s there; they have that! You cannot change your email address;now you would get spam emails if they (hackers) sell your data!They also have your travel history. It’s quite easy to locate you or your place of interest.

Here is the most disappointed Customer:

Not using @CareemPAK again, despite better services than #Uber.
Startups, focus on your customer’s information management. #Credibility goes a long way and #DataManagement is everything!#Disappointed #Careem

Strangely, Careem doesn’t allow you to delete account permanently:

Careem Cyber Attack took place of January, 14 and they inform their customers two months later:

… Received a blog post of #Careem.
Breach happened on January 14 (and THEY WERE AWARE OF IT),and they are letting people know of the issue on April 23.
The data of every person who have signed up with Careem before Jan 14 is stolen. Still they didn’t bother to tell the people. pic.twitter.com/R8epItzZGR

Same Question form another one:

Today is #April23 so why it took you almost 4 long months to tell the #January event in April @careem @CareemPAK ? and why telling now when hackers would have done what they wanted to do in these 4 months?? #Careem https://t.co/LvM20CMkeC

#CareemDear #Careem,
Do you really mean to tell me that my name, email, phone number, home and work address is out in the hands of nefarious people now! You took three months to tell us that our data has been hacked! ?

— Kamran Rao (@Kami_Leo12) April 23, 2018

How easy it is for Careem to say that customers should change their credentials immediately. Who would be held responsible for that? People had their credit and debit cards information saved with Careem as well. If you make commercial products, wouldn’t it be your responsibility to secure your networks?
