(26 Sep 2018) Uber has agreed to pay $148 million and take steps to tighten data security, after the ride-hailing company failed for a year to notify drivers that hackers had stolen their personal information.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced the settlement Wednesday between Uber Technologies Inc. and all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Madigan said that although Uber is now taking appropriate steps, the company's initial response was unacceptable. and that companies cannot hide when they break the law.
Uber learned in November 2016 that hackers had accessed personal data, including driver's license information, for roughly 600,000 Uber drivers in the U.S.
The company acknowledged the breach in November 2017, saying it paid $100,000 in ransom for the stolen information to be destroyed.
Tony West, chief legal officer for Uber, said the decision by current managers was "the right thing to do."
