- A hacker breached Uber Technologies, Inc's (NYSE:UBER) computer systems on September 15, leading the company to take several of its internal communications and engineering systems offline as it investigated the hack, the New York Times reports.
- The person claiming responsibility for the hack sent images of the email, cloud storage, and code repositories to cybersecurity researchers and the NYT.
- "They pretty much have full access to Uber," said Sam Curry, a security engineer at Yuga Labs who corresponded with the hacker. "This is a total compromise, from what it looks like."
- Uber instructed employees against using its internal messaging service, Slack, and found that other internal systems were inaccessible.
- Shortly before they took the Slack system offline, Uber employees received a message that read, "I announce I am a hacker, and Uber has suffered a data breach." He listed several internal databases that he claimed to compromise. Uber drivers should receive higher pay, he added.
- The hacker compromised a worker's Slack account and used it to send the message.
