Thousands of Uber Drivers' License Data Stolen: Vendor Fireworks AI Credentials Breached, 7,870 Confirmed Affected Across Three States
Ride-hailing company Uber is notifying thousands of drivers across the United States that their personal and driver's license information was stolen in an October intrusion targeting one of its technology providers. Uber filed data breach notices this week with attorneys general in several states, including California; the notice is dated November 10.
According to the notice, the provider told Uber on October 9 that its internal credentials had been stolen and used to access Uber's data held with the provider. Uber severed its data connections with the provider and opened an investigation, which determined on October 13 that the intruder had accessed Uber data, including personal information belonging to the drivers now being notified.
The provider is super-intelligence infrastructure company Fireworks AI. The California attorney general notice itself does not name the provider; an Uber spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that the vendor involved was Fireworks AI. Fireworks disclosed its own breach in October, in which customer account and billing information and some private datasets were taken; the company attributed the attack to a financially motivated cybercriminal group engaged in stealing credentials to resell access to large language models, with forensic work assisted by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42. Online productivity company Notion also confirmed that some of its customer data was stolen in the Fireworks breach.
Uber has not disclosed a nationwide total. State notices so far confirm 2,567 people in Massachusetts, 3,430 in South Carolina and 1,873 in Rhode Island, at least 7,870 across three states, with the full scope expected to grow.
Uber said it had not identified any misuse of the stolen information as of its notice. The company is offering affected drivers free credit monitoring and fraud assistance through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.
