Hungerrush Scam Email - How to Protect Yourself

The Suspicious Email

Dear HungerRush,

You cannot ignore all my requests and expect me not to take malicious actions. You still have time. Every restaurant and customer of said restaurants' data which is in the millions is in jeopardy here and I can't even get a response back. Not to worry, there's still time left...

Reports indicate a mass email campaign that began around March 4, 2026, characterized by the following:

• Subject/Content: The email typically claims that HungerRush's customer and restaurant data is "in jeopardy" and that "malicious actions" will be taken because the company has ignored the sender's requests.
• Targeting: It is being sent to both HungerRush customers and individuals who have no known connection to the company.
• Sender Address: It often appears to come from an official-looking HungerRush support address, suggesting the sender may have compromised an internal system or used a spoofed domain.
• Call to Action: The message may contain a ProtonMail address or links that could be used for tracking or phishing.

Recommendations

1. Do Not Interact: Do not click any links, download attachments, or reply to the email. Interacting can confirm your email address is active or lead to malware installation.
2. Mark as Spam/Phish: Use your email provider's tools to mark the message as spam or phishing to help their filters block similar messages for others.
3. Report the Incident: If you are a business owner or have sensitive data with HungerRush, consider reporting the email to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org.
4. Verify via Official Channels: If you need to contact HungerRush regarding your account, use their Official Support Portal, call them directly at 281–971-2500 or send an email to support@hungerrush.com.
