GoGet

GoGet, also known by its alias, is a car-sharing service headquartered in Australia. The company provides a mobile application that allows members to locate, reserve, and unlock vehicles for short-term use. Access to cars can be granted for periods ranging from a few minutes to several hours through the platform. The service caters to both personal travel needs and business-related mobility requirements. By offering shared vehicle access, GoGet operates within the urban mobility market of Australia.

In May 2017, GoGet disclosed a data breach that resulted from unauthorized system access. The breach compromised personal information of approximately 90,000 customers. Exposed data included names, addresses, contact details, driver's licence numbers, employer information, and emergency contacts. Administrative account credentials were also accessed during the intrusion. The incident highlighted the scale of data the company collects from its user base.

GoGet's response to the breach involved cooperation with law enforcement, which advised a delayed public notification to avoid hindering the ongoing investigation. An individual linked to the intrusion was arrested and accused of using stolen credentials to unlawfully access vehicles. The company reported the breach to relevant cybersecurity regulators as part of its regulatory obligations. Affected individuals were instructed to monitor their financial accounts for any signs of misuse following the disclosure. Although GoGet states it does not store payment card details directly, malware present during the breach could have captured card information for users who updated billing information. These actions reflect the firm's focus on incident management, regulatory compliance, and customer communication within the car-sharing sector.
