TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is a web-based service that connects freelance handymen with clients in various local US markets

It has emailed customers admitting it suffered a security breach.

The company has taken down its app and website while law enforcement and a private cyber-security firm are investigating the incident.

The extent of the security breach is unclear if the attacker accessed user details, and customers' financial data, or if he only defaced the site and left without touching anything else.
