Uber has confirmed a data breach involving the personal information of thousands of drivers, specifically their driver's license details, due to a compromise at Fireworks AI, a third-party service provider.

Uber's investigation, completed on October 13, revealed that the attackers accessed sensitive data linked to Uber's account with Fireworks AI. Notifications have been sent to affected drivers in several states, including Massachusetts (2,567), South Carolina (3,430), and Rhode Island (1,873), with the total number expected to rise as more states are notified.
