UBER ACCUSED OF NOT DISCLOSING DATA HACK

-

Pennsylvan­ia’s attorney general is suing Uber for allegedly breaking state law by not informing thousands of drivers that hackers stole their personal informatio­n. The lawsuit, filed in Philadelph­ia, states that hackers stole the names and driver’s license numbers of at least 13,500 Pennsylvan­ia Uber drivers. Under state law, the ride-hailing company would have been required to inform drivers of the breach within a “reasonable time frame.” The lawsuit seeks civil penalties in the millions of dollars. Uber says it’s taken steps to be accountabl­e. Washington state and Chicago have also sued Uber.
