According to a recnt update by UBER no sensitive data related to customers has been accessed by the alleged hacker.
Here is the statement made by UBER
While our investigation and response efforts are ongoing, here is a further update on yesterday’s incident:
• We have no evidence that the incident involved access to sensitive user data (like trip history).
. All of our services including Uber Uber Eats, Uber Freight, and the Uber Driver app are operational.
As we shared yesterday, we have notified law enforcement. Internal software tools that we took down as a precaution yesterday are coming back online this morning.
The news was actually a shock for everyone as soon as it broke the social media. Everyone on the internet was talking about it as a 18 year old hacker was involved. It would be worth to know that will companies hire cyber security personals after so many hacking attempts which have unfolded in recent times.
