On September 26, attorneys general from multiple U.S. states settled with the ride sharing company Uber over a data breach that revealed personal information about both Uber’s riders and drivers. 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.
