On the morning of March 28, a gig worker near Tampa, Florida, was shopping an order for Shipt, Target's delivery platform, when he received an email from "Shipt Support" asking him to reset his password.

The worker says he didn't request to reset his password, but didn't think much of the email and went on with this day. Later that evening, the worker says he was sitting at home on his couch when he received a phone call from Shipt's corporate headquarters' phone number. Someone identifying themselves as a Shipt employee and addressing the worker by his first name said there had been unusual activity on his account regarding his password and asked him to read back a code that had been emailed to him to verify his identity.
