Does TaskRabbit get hacked every 2 years?

TaskRabbit sent me an email they reset my password "out of an abundance of caution to protect your account". I assume this means they got hacked, and this is the weaselly corporate way of dealing with it without admitting anything. So I checked Google for any recent news about the hack. Didn't see anything (yet) but found articles from Dec 2020[1] and Apr 2018[2].

They have my payment info on file and there is no way to delete it. You can only change it to a different credit card.
