Last Updated on October 22, 2018
Nicolai v. Uber Technologies, Inc. et al.
Filed: December 27, 2017 ◆§ 3:17-cv-03475-MBS
Lawsuits continue to be filed against Uber and Raiser over their handling of a 2016 data breach. This class action case comes to us from South Carolina.
A former South Carolina Uber driver has sued the company and Raiser, LLC over the companies’ handling of a 2016 data breach, for which they reportedly chose to pay the perpetrators $100,000 to delete the stolen information and remain quiet rather than properly report the hack to authorities, drivers and app users. The plaintiff alleges the defendants’ failure to properly and timely notify all pertinent parties that their data may be compromised was a “willful and knowing violation of South Carolina law” that increased proposed class members’ risk of identity theft.
The lawsuit seeks to cover respective classes of Uber drivers and riders in South Carolina who have worked for or otherwise used services provided by Uber between November 22, 2014 and the present whose personally identifiable data was obtained in the 2016 data breach.
