Question 1

How do I know if I am affected by the Uber data breach?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, you may not know if your information was included in the breach. If you fear or suspect your personal information may be compromised, be sure to change all passwords and closely monitor all active accounts, both in media and banking.

Question 2

What can I do if I think my data was compromised in the breach?

Accepted Answer

A class-action lawsuit against Uber will attempt to monetarily compensate users. UPDATE: Uber paid out almost $150million in the resulting suit.

Question 3

How can I ensure my data is safe from such things in the future?

Accepted Answer

As long as you participate in sharing your data online with other agencies for any reason, you run the risk of exposure because of the ability of hackers to steal data. Smaller companies may be more at risk because of fewer security measures taken, but also may not be targeted because of their size, while larger businesses may have better security protocols, but may also be bigger, more valuable targets.
