Uber driver info stolen yet again: This time from law firm

Uber has had more of its internal data stolen from a third party that suffered a security breach. This time, the personal info of the app's drivers was swiped by miscreants from the IT systems of law firm Genova Burns.

In March we were notified by outside legal counsel, Genova Burns LLC, that they had suffered a security incident. Impacted information held by Genova Burns included information of certain drivers who had completed trips in New Jersey, including social security number and/or tax identification number.

Genova Burns said in its letter it first became aware of suspicious activity within its IT systems on January 31, and hired a forensic security team to probe what turned out to be a digital break-in. As a result of that probe, the attorneys alerted law enforcement, changed all system passwords, and promised to take"additional steps to improve security and better help protect against similar incidents in the future.
