DriveHer, ride-sharing app for women, suspends service after data breach exposes personal information

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Dissent

Jaren Kerr reports:

The owner of a ride-sharing app created to increase safety and security for women drivers and riders has suspended its services after learning that its user data was vulnerable to a breach.

DriveHer, which launched in Toronto in March and has more than 1,000 downloads, was created to both empower women and keep them safe, according to its founder Aisha Addo.
