It looks like Congress won’t be ignoring the recent thoroughly sketchy report that Uber failed to disclose — and made efforts to hide — about a data breach that affected 57 million users in 2016. On Monday, Senator Mark Warner issued a set of questions to the ride-sharing company regarding the hack and its failure to inform both regulators and its own users, even as the company allegedly shared information of the breach with potential investors. So far, the FTC and New York’s Attorney General have also confirmed their interest in investigating the incident to TechCrunch.

“Uber’s conduct raises serious questions about the company’s compliance with relevant state and federal regulations,” Warner writes in the letter.
