Uber is investigating a 'cybersecurity incident,' declining to comment on reports a young hacker had gained access to the ride-hailing company's computer network
Employee software tools shut down as a precaution were being gradually restarted, the San Francisco based company said.
Uber has said it was investigating a "cybersecurity incident," declining to comment on reports a young hacker had gained access to the ride-hailing company's computer network. Uber said on Friday that its services were all operational and that it had "no evidence that the incident involved access to sensitive data" such as users' trip history.
Employee software tools shut down as a precaution were being gradually restarted, the San Francisco based company added. "He says that he simply - having already determined a valid username and password - tricked an Uber staff member into granting him access to internal systems," independent cybersecurity analyst Graham Cluley said at his website.
