Swvl was hacked: The mass-transport app said yesterday that it faced a security breach involving “unauthorized access” to its system earlier this month. Swvl claims it has yet to find evidence that customers were “directly impacted” by the breach and that sensitive data such as passwords and credit card information were not exposed. The company has not said how many user accounts were affected or what information may have been taken. It has also not said whether it believes the attack was by criminals, a competitor or a state actor.
