Uber could face an investigation and potential fines in the U.K. after covering up a massive data breach, the country's data watchdog told CNBC on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Uber revealed that it had suffered a hack by two people on its third-party cloud service. The names and driver's license numbers of around 600,000 drivers in the U.S. were stolen, as well as some rider names, email addresses, and phone numbers.
