REUTERS/Mike BlakeSept 16 (Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) said it was investigating a cybersecurity incident after a report of a network breach that forced the company to shut several internal communications and engineering systems. Uber began investigating the cybersecurity incident on Thursday. Uber employees were instructed to not use Salesforce Inc -owned office messaging app Slack, according to the NYT report. "I announce I am a hacker and Uber has suffered a data breach," the message read, and went on to list several internal databases that were allegedly compromised, the report added. The worker was persuaded to hand over a password that allowed the hacker to gain access to Uber's systems, the report said.
