In light of Uber failing to report the massive data breach that affected potentially 57 million passengers and drivers worldwide, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has filed a multimillion-dollar consumer protection lawsuit against the transportation company.

The breach included the names and driver’s license numbers of at least 10,888 Uber drivers in Washington and, under the state’s data breach law, those affected are required to be notified within 45 days of the breach, Ferguson’s press release said. The law also requires the attorney general to be notified within 45 days if the breach affects more than 500 Washington residents.
