Uber has confirmed that hackers stole the personal information and driver's license details of thousands of U.S. drivers after breaking into the systems of a third-party technology provider, exposing sensitive records belonging to people working for the ride-hailing company.
At least 7,870 individuals were affected across three states, according to regulatory filings, although the nationwide total remains unknown. The breach originated at Fireworks AI, a technology company that provides access to artificial intelligence models and services, rather than through a direct attack on Uber's own systems.
The incident occurred in October but came to wider public attention Friday after Uber began notifying affected drivers and filing breach disclosures with state regulators.
