## Key points

- A provider’s compromised credentials exposed some Uber data.
- About 1,873 Rhode Island residents were affected.
- Uber says no misuse has been identified so far.

## Summary

Uber said an unauthorised party used stolen credentials to access its data through a service provider, exposing some people’s personal information. The breach highlights the risks of third-party access to sensitive data, including information about drivers.

The provider told Uber on 9 October that its credentials had been compromised; Uber’s investigation confirmed access to its data on 13 October. The notice did not name the provider or specify the data, but TechCrunch reported that it was Fireworks AI and that drivers’ licence details were included. About 1,873 Rhode Island residents were affected, with guidance also provided for residents of five other states and Washington, DC. Uber is offering free credit monitoring and fraud assistance for 90 days, and said it had found no evidence of misuse.
