Uber data breach exposed up to 50,000 driver names, licenses
BY FRANK CATALANO on February 27, 2015 at 2:33 pm


Uber is revealing a one-time breach of a database that exposed tens of thousands of current and former Uber drivers’ names and drivers’ license numbers. And it’s recommending those drivers “monitor their credit reports for fraudulent transactions or accounts.”

Katherine Tassi, Uber’s Managing Counsel of Data Privacy, issued a statement this afternoon that says last September, Uber suspected unauthorized access to one of its databases. Upon investigation, it found, “a one-time unauthorized access to an Uber database by a third party had occurred on May 13, 2014.”

While Tassi says Uber has since changed the access protocols for the database, “the unauthorized access impacted approximately 50,000 drivers across multiple states, which is a small percentage of current and former Uber driver partners.”

Uber says it’s in the process of notifying affected drivers, but that it has not received any reports of misuse of information as a result of the incident. Uber also will pay for one year of credit report monitoring.

As to the prepretator, Uber will say only that, “today we filed a lawsuit that will enable us to gather information to help identify and prosecute this unauthorized third party.”

Katherine Tassi, Uber’s managing counsel of data privacy, said an "unauthorized third party" accessed one of Uber's driver databases on May 13, 2014. Uber discovered the breach four months later on September 17.

Tassi says Uber swiftly repaired the vulnerability in the database, which contained the names and driver's license numbers of 50,000 current and former Uber drivers, across multiple states.

On Friday [February 27, 2015], the company started alerting the drivers that were impacted by the breach, though Tassi says Uber and its drivers haven't received or noticed any abuses of the leaked information.

Yesterday, auto lender Santander Consumer USA agreed to pay at least $9.35 million to resolve the accusation that it illegally repossessed over 1,100 vehicles from active military personnel. The company is a close partner of the ride-sharing giant Uber, which funnels drivers with low credit to Santander loan officers. It’s not the company’s first brush with the law: the lender holds over $40 billion in car loans and has repeatedly been the subject of criminal investigations into its subprime auto loan arm.

Years ago, founder Peter Yen worked downtown in San Francisco and found himself craving sushi for lunch, but did not have time for a sit-down meal. Nagged by a growing concern about overfishing that was decimating the seafood population, Yen began to dream up a new way to consume sushi that was fast, fresh, affordable, portable, and environmentally conscious. The sushi burrito was born.

San Francisco, CA — A homeless man who threw his skateboard into the windshield of an Uber driver who sped toward him in a darkened alley has been acquitted of all charges, San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi announced today.

Jurors on Friday found Martin Knaak, 49, not guilty of vandalism and resisting arrest. Knaak faced up to a year in jail if convicted, said his attorney, Deputy Public Defender Eric Guttschuss.

Knaak’s trouble began shortly after 1 a.m. on Dec. 6, while walking along Moulton Street in the Marina District. A passing Uber driver in a Prius, apparently angry that Knaak had been jaywalking on a nearby street, motioned for him to walk in the crosswalk , then extended his middle finger.

Moments later, when Knaak crossed in front of the Prius at an intersection, the driver smiled and revved his motor, apparently threatening the homeless man. In response, Knaak splashed his soda onto the car. The angry driver then pursued Knaak, at times traveling down the wrong side of a street and forcing him between two parked cars before following him on foot while videotaping him.

Knaak retreated down a narrow alley. Postal trucks were parked on both sidewalks, making it necessary for him to walk in the street. Soon, headlights appeared and the Uber driver began accelerating toward Knaak. Fearing for his life, and with the speeding car a mere 30 feet away, Knaak threw his skateboard at the oncoming car and smashed its front windshield, Guttschuss said.

Knaak, shaken, called 911 and reported that a man was trying to run him over. Police arrived to find the homeless man emotional and distraught and placed him in handcuffs. Meanwhile, the Uber driver described an unprovoked attack on his vehicle. Handcuffed and on his knees, Knaak began tapping his head in frustration on a building wall. Police then pulled him to the ground by his hair, one of the officers driving her knee into Knaak’s shoulder, another injuring his thumb.

“Police made assumptions without ever hearing Mr. Knaak’s side of the story. He was the victim of a crime. He needed help,” Guttschuss said.

Knaak’s emotional testimony resonated with jurors during the three-day trial. Jurors later stated they believed the homeless man acted in self-defense.

“This was a very difficult experience for him. He called 911, hoping officers would protect him. Instead, he was arrested,” Guttschuss said.

The Uber driver also testified, claiming he did not pursue Knaak. However, the driver’s cell phone video contradicted his claims.

When the jury returned its verdict, Knaak teared up and said, “They still lied.”

Adachi said the case highlights the need to be unbiased when investigating crimes.

“As a crime victim, Mr. Knaak deserved every bit of the police response and protection that would have been afforded to a wealthy San Franciscan,” Adachi said. “What happened to him is a betrayal of justice. Fortunately, his public defender was able to end his nightmare.”

Sixty percent of the 238 motorists found to be at fault or suspected of a crime faced no criminal charges during the five-year period, CIR found in its analysis of thousands of pages of police and court records from Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties.

When drivers did face criminal charges, punishment often was light. Licenses rarely were taken away. Of those charged, less than 60 percent had their driving privileges suspended or revoked for even one day, an automatic penalty in drunk driving arrests.

Forty percent of those convicted faced no more than a day in jail; 13 drivers were jailed for more than a year. By contrast, those charged in accidental shootings often serve lengthy jail terms, according to media reports.

I was crossing a street while a car was stopped at a sign and had the driver (an off-duty cop) lean out the window and tell me to "get the gently caress outta the street". I told him to go gently caress himself and he actually parked his car and got out to argue with me.

Drivers are scum.
