(Picture: PA Archive)Cybersecurity policies at Uber were called into question today after the ride-hailing app was forced to shut down its staff messaging service following a security breach on its computer network.
The hacker who claimed responsibility for the breach said he was 18 years old, according to the New York Times, and called for Uber drivers to receive higher pay. He claimed to have been able to access to the company’s email and cloud storage systems, and said the firm had weak security standards.
