Uber has faced criticism for its treatment of drivers and its treatment of women — now it’s under fire for its treatment of your personal information.
Researchers Vitor Oliveira, Fábio Pires and Filipe Reis from Portugal-based security firm Integrityrecently found a bunch of vulnerabilities in Uber’s app, one of which let the hackers see a user’s name, full trip path, their driver’s name and the license plate and car model, according to Integrity’s blog post.
Oliveira confirmed the vulnerabilities in a Twitter direct message and said “now it’s all fixed.”Uber corroborated this by emailing Mic a link to the Integrity team’s blog post, where it detailed that all of the bugs the security researchers found had either been resolved or previously reported.
Uber paid the team a total of $18,000 for spotting four vulnerabilities, Oliveira said. For the full article click here
