Class Action Filed in Minnesota Continues Stream of Lawsuits Against Uber Over 2016 Data Breach
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
Greder v. Uber Technologies Inc. et al
Filed: January 16, 2018 ◆§ 0:18cv116
The litigation continues against Uber and Raiser over the fallout from a 2016 data breach the companies covered up by paying the hackers $100k.
The latest in an ongoing procession of proposed class actions against Uber Technologies Inc., Rasier, LLC and Rasier-CA, LLC over their handling of a 2016 data breach comes from Minnesota federal court. The plaintiff alleges that because of Uber’s bungling of the breach—an incident for which Uber reportedly paid the hackers a hefty $100,000 ransom and only became public in November 2017—millions of potential class members now face an exponentially higher risk of identity theft, false tax claims filed in their names, and even extortion.
The lawsuit seeks to cover a class of consumers nationwide whose personal data was accessed in the 2016 data breach.
