Uber has revealed in a filing with several attorneys general that the personal information and licenses of thousands of its drivers were compromised in a data breach. In the filing, which shows the notices it sent its drivers about the breach, Uber said that one of its service providers had been hacked on October 9. The attackers stole internal credentials, which they then used to access Uber's data connected to that provider.
