Irish taxi software firm iCabbi suffered a data breach that exposed nearly 300,000 customers' personal data, including names, emails, and phone numbers of senior officials and journalists. The breach was due to an unprotected database resulting from "human error" during a database migration. iCabbi acknowledged the breach, stating that it notified affected taxi companies, but did not disclose if any individuals suffered losses.
