Uber reports US driver’s license information stolen during data breach
Uber says the stolen records include drivers’ license data, and affected workers are being offered free credit monitoring and fraud assistance.
- Uber is notifying thousands of drivers that their personal information, including driver's license data, was stolen during an October breach at tech provider Fireworks AI, with the ride-hail giant filing notices this week to U.S. attorneys general.
- Fireworks reported a data breach last month in which hackers stole internal credentials, which were then used to access Uber's account with the provider; Uber was notified of the unauthorized access on October 9.
- Stolen records include driver's licenses of 2,567 individuals in Massachusetts, 3,430 people across South Carolina, and 1,873 residents of Rhode Island, with Illinois numbers pending and California drivers also notified.
- Uber severed its data connections with the provider and is offering affected drivers free credit monitoring and fraud assistance through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, with 90 days to enroll.
- This incident marks Uber's second known data breach this year, following a security incident at its Uber Freight truck shipping unit, and online productivity startup Notion also confirmed its data was stolen in the Fireworks hack.
