Capsule, an app-based pharmacy that delivers medications to patients, has reported a network server breach that affected more than 27,000 people.
The Manhattan startup said the attack was likely an instance of “password spraying,” the term for when an attacker uses login information from other companies’ data breaches to attempt to break into users’ accounts.
A third-party cybersecurity firm concluded the breach was not a result of any weaknesses in Capsule’s security or data infrastructure, a company spokeswoman said. She did not name the firm that conducted the investigation.
