According to iFood, the information circulating on the internet is related to an isolated incident recorded in December 2025, which would have been quickly contained by its security protocols.
The company also reported that the scope of the incident was restricted to around 2% of its customer base, a percentage that, according to iFood, is far from the volume of 43 million records mentioned in recent publications.
The company reported that the impact was restricted to around 2% of its user base, equivalent to approximately 1.2 million people.
What data was exposed?
The company states that information such as users' names and CPFs were exposed, but that account access credentials were not compromised.
The company also reported that passwords, payment methods and financial records were not affected by the incident. Furthermore, there is no evidence of access to banking data or information related to transactions carried out on the platform.
In the note, iFood stated that it continues to adopt protective measures and that it acts in compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).
