Uber revealed Tuesday that hackers stole data on 57 million drivers and riders in October 2016. The data included personal information such as names, email addresses and driver's license numbers, but not Social Security numbers or credit card information.
The company's new CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, said in a statement that he learned of the breach recently, but the company first learned of it in November 2016. Uber paid $100,000 for the data thieves to delete the information at the time.
