The drivers suffered the brunt of the exposure: the release of their names and driver’s license numbers. Uber did not disclose the breach when it occurred in 2016 (in violation of California’s security breach notification law), and it became public after the company’s then new CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, announced it shortly after his arrival at the company in 2017.

I must apologize to readers of our French and Spanish versions of our website. We are currently experiencing a problem with our usage of the WordPress Multilingual (WPML) plugin that is preventing us from sending our new content out for translation.
