Uber Technologies Inc. said its database was accessed by an unauthorized third party last year, resulting in the possible theft of information on 50,000 drivers.
The drivers, who are part of Uber’s mobile car-booking network, were notified and Uber took legal steps to gather information about the breach, the startup said in a statement on its website Friday.
