Uber says ‘no evidence’ user accounts were compromised in hack

There is no evidence that any of its users' private information was compromised, according to the company. Law enforcement has been notified that all of the company's products are currently "operational."

Several of the company's internal systems were taken offline after the hack was discovered. A hacker claims to be 18 years old and gained access to the company's internal tools.

The company says that the internal software tools were taken offline as a precautionary measure.

The hacker posted a message on the company's internal chat system. The message that was circulating on social media said that it was a hacker and that the ride sharing company had suffered a data hack. The alleged hacker then listed confidential company information they said they had access to and posted a message on the internet.

According to the alleged hacker, who spoke to a reporter with The New York Times, he tricked an employee of the company into giving him access to their systems by pretending to be an IT official.

Users aren't being told to make any changes to their accounts at the moment.

According to the security experts consulted by the Times, the hack appeared to be a complete compromise of the system. The company doesn't advise its users to change their passwords at this time, according to a spokesman.

This isn't the first time that the ride-sharing company has been hacked. The company's confidential data of 57 million customers and drivers was exposed in a massive cyberattack in October of last year. As part of a settlement with the DOJ, the company admitted to covering up the hack.

The hackers used stolen credentials to access a private source code repository and obtained a proprietary access key which they used to access and copy large quantities of data associated with users and drivers.

The chief security officer at the time, Joe Sullivan, was charged with obstruction of justice after he tried to hide a data breach from the Federal Trade Commission. The trial of the CEO of the ride-sharing company began earlier this month.
