Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

How the fuck did this give them access to, on average, over seven thousand dollars per account compromise?
They sign up for an account as a customer, and they order something really cheap, e.g. a salt packet from McDonald's or a sauce packet from Taco Bell.Then when a Dasher accepts the delivery offer, they call the Dasher.
DoorDash masks phone numbers on both ends by proxying through their own phone bank. So when they call the unsuspecting Dasher, the caller ID on the Dasher's end says "DoorDash."
Then they impersonate Dasher support. They claim to the Dasher that the order they are attempting to pick up was placed fraudulently and will need to be cancelled. They claim that the Dasher will still be paid for their trouble but that they will need to check their text messages for a link.
Then they use the link to phish the Dasher's account credentials. And they instruct the Dasher to forward their 2FA code as well, despite the text message literally saying that nobody will ever ask for that code.
It's been happening for years. New Dashers fall for it all the time.
It says they also fraudulently created new accounts as well. They likely turned around and "rented" those accounts out to additional victims. There is a black market for account rentals for those who, for whatever reason (e.g. background check, driving record, citizenship status) can't be approved for one on their own.
Makes you wonder how much DD is keeping vs. passing on to the workers. If this number is correct and it truly was just "wages" then there must have been more accounts.
