"As reported by Nexstar, Austin resident Byrne Hobart said he experienced this very thing, writing in a post on X: "Amazing. DoorDash driver accepted the drive, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted an AI-generated image of a DoorDash order (left) at our front door (right)." After his post started getting attention, Hobart offered more details, acknowledging that his story would be "pretty easy" to fake."
"As for how the driver pulled it off, Hobart speculated they used a hacked account on a jailbroken phone, obtaining an image of his front door through a DoorDash feature that shows photos from prior deliveries. A DoorDash spokesperson told TechCrunch, "After quickly investigating this incident, our team permanently removed the Dasher's account and ensured the customer was made whole. We have zero tolerance for fraud and use a combination of technology and human review to detect and prevent bad actors from abusing our platform.""
An Austin customer reported a DoorDash driver accepted an order, immediately marked it delivered, and uploaded an AI-generated image purporting to show the order at the customer's front door. The customer said others later reported the same experience with the same driver display name. The customer speculated the Dasher used a hacked account on a jailbroken phone and accessed a DoorDash feature that stores prior delivery photos to obtain an image of the front door. DoorDash investigated, permanently removed the Dasher's account, compensated the customer, and stated that the company uses technology and human review to prevent fraud.
