What Happened

In October 2026, Uber experienced a data breach involving one of its third-party technology providers, Fireworks AI. Hackers reportedly gained access to the provider's internal credentials and used them to access information belonging to Uber drivers. The stolen information included personal details and driver's license information belonging to thousands of individuals across several states. Uber responded by disconnecting its systems from the provider, investigating the incident, and notifying potentially affected drivers.

What Personal Information May Be at Risk

Based on public accounts and regulatory filings, the information potentially involved varied by individual. Uber has confirmed that drivers' personal information and driver's license information were stolen, although its sample notification letter does not specify all categories of information affected. 

Who May Be Affected

The investigation focuses on Uber and individuals who were affected by this breach. Anyone who has received a data breach notification connected to this incident may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud and is encouraged to come forward.

The firm will evaluate your rights and potential claims at no cost.

Recommended Steps to Protect Yourself
