The UK's data protection watchdog is set to flag down Uber over an enormous data breach hidden for more than a year.

"Uber's announcement about a concealed data breach last October raises huge concerns around its data protection policies and ethics", said the Information Commissioner's Office. "If UK citizens were affected then we should have been notified". Concealing a breach can result in higher fines for companies that lose data, the statement added.
