Full breach record for UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. →10 incidents on file

Uber Technologies, Inc. disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed a database containing driver partner information on May 13, 2014. The access was possible due to information being available without intended access restrictions (misconfiguration). Uber discovered the issue in September 2014 and restricted access immediately. In May 2016, after extensive analysis, Uber determined that specific driver partners' names, driver's license numbers, and Social Security numbers were in the accessed database. Notices were sent in June 2016 offering one year of credit monitoring.
