Uber said it has contacted US law enforcement after a hacker apparently breached its network. That includes complete access to the Amazon and Google-hosted cloud environments where Uber stores its source code and customer data, he said. Mr Curry said he spoke to several Uber employees who said they were “working to lock down everything internally” to restrict the hacker’s access. They sent a text message to an Uber worker claiming to be a company tech employee and persuaded the worker to hand over a password that gave them access to the network. The Times said the hacker reported being 18 years old and saying they broke in because the company had weak security.
