Privacy watchdog releases findings of investigation.
Uber failed to appropriately protect the personal data of more than a million Australian customers and drivers when it was compromised in a 2016 hack, the privacy commission has found.
In a long-awaited determination released on Friday, privacy commissioner Angelene Falk revealed the global ride sharing company had interfered with the privacy of 1.2 million Australians by failing to comply with the
Privacy Act.
The determination follows a “complex” investigation into US-based Uber Technologies and its Dutch-based subsidiary, Uber B.V, following a cyber attack that took place in October and November 2016.
