Why the action was brought
In November 2016, hackers gained access to personal information Uber maintained about its drivers, including driver’s license information pertaining to approximately 600,000 drivers nationwide. Arizona law required Uber to notify affected Arizona residents, but Uber failed to report the breach in a timely manner and waited until November 2017.
