Uber's bad days are far from over. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro sued Uber on Monday for not disclosing a massive data breach for more than a year after it occurred in 2016.*
Shapiro's lawsuit alleged that Uber (https://mashable.com/category/uber/) violated Pennsylvania state law by not notifying customers within a "reasonable amount of time," The Hill reported (http://thehill.com/policy/technology/376742-pa-ag-sues-uber-over-2016-data-breach). Shapiro can seek up to $1,000 in fines for every violation.*

“Uber violated Pennsylvania law by failing to put our residents on timely notice of this massive data breach,” Shapiro said in a statement, according to The Hill. “Instead of notifying impacted consumers of the breach within a reasonable amount of time, Uber hid the incident for over a year – and actually paid the hackers to delete the data and stay quiet. That’s just outrageous corporate misconduct, and I’m suing to hold them accountable and recover for Pennsylvanians.” Read more...
