The new date is Sep 16, 2022.
On Thursday, the company said it was investigating a cyber security incident and had informed law enforcement after an alleged hacker claimed to have broken into the company's internal databases.
A major cyberattack appears to have taken place on Thursday night.
In an internal message to employees, an account wrote that he was a hacker and that the company had suffered a data breech.
The New York Times received images of email, cloud storage and code repository from the alleged hacker.
The purported hacker's message on Slack appears to have initially been seen as a joke, with employees of the ride-sharing company reacting with a number of emojis.
Other internal communication channels seem to have been shut as well, according to the Times.
Sam Curry is a security engineer at Yuga Labs and one of the people contacted by the alleged hacker.
According to the Times report, the hacker gained access to the company's internal systems by posing as a company IT person and persuading an employee to give them their login credentials.
The hacker gained control of the Hacker One account that the company uses for its bug bounty program. Security researchers are paid to tell the company about vulnerabilities in their software.
The company said it was responding to a cybersecurity incident and was in contact with law enforcement. It is not known what kind of data has been accessed or if customer accounts have been compromised. It's not clear if the hacker will release the data publicly.
In 2016 hackers gained access to the personal information of 57 million accounts belonging to drivers and customers, something the company failed to reveal for a year. The company paid $100,000 to the hackers in order to stop them from releasing the data, according to a report. Sullivan is facing federal criminal charges for failing to comply with security disclosures.
The New York Times reports that the ride-sharing company is investigating a computer system vulnerability.
The Hacker claims to have Penetrated key Databases.
