Uber security breach could leave 50,000 drivers exposed

As many as 50,000 Uber drivers could have been affected by a security breach last year, potentially leaving their personal data in the hands of an unauthorized third-party, reports Tech Crunch.

The cab-hailing company has admitted to a flaw which led to one of its databases being accessed last spring, revealing that driver names and license numbers may have been obtained. Uber’s security team first noticed the risk on September 17, 2014, and under further investigation discovered the database had indeed been accessed once on May 13, 2014.
