Sam Curry, a Yuga Labs security engineer, reported yesterday that employees of the ride-sharing company were directed to websites with pornographic images and "wanker" epithets.
The hacker is said to have accessed the internals of the company via a successful attack on an employee via the messaging service.
According to the company, no sensitive user data was accessed in the incident. We don't know what happened or why the hacker went after the ride-sharing giant. It is clear that it was not a joke.
