And the company said it was working with law enforcement and a cyber-security company to investigate.The company has urged people to change their passwords on other websites and apps, if they have used their TaskRabbit password for other accounts.Ikea bought San Francisco-based TaskRabbit in 2017, although it is operated as an independent company within the Ikea Group.The app was founded in 2008 by Leah Busque, who came up with the idea of a chore-hiring company when she ran out of food for her dog one evening, while waiting to go out to dinner, and wished there was someone she could call on to help.
