What happened

Uber began mailing breach notices on November 10, 2026 after a service provider told it on October 9 that an unauthorized party had compromised the provider's internal credentials and used them to access Uber's account with the provider. Uber cut its data connections with the provider and on October 13 determined that Uber data connected to the provider, including personal information, had been accessed. The notice filed with California's attorney general gives the breach date as October 7. Uber has not published a total; South Carolina's consumer affairs department lists 3,430 affected residents there. Uber is offering free credit monitoring through Cyberscout (TransUnion), with enrollment open for 90 days from the letter date.

What should I do?

1. Enroll in the free Cyberscout credit monitoring at mytrueidentity.com with the code in your letter within 90 days of the letter date.
2. Freeze your credit for free at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion so no one can open new accounts in your name.
3. Contact your state DMV if you see signs your driver's license number is being misused.
4. Treat messages about your Uber account or this incident as suspect; call Uber's incident line at 866-317-7961 or use the Uber app instead of links.
