Uber sued in US

The Los Angeles City Attorney has sued global ride-hailing app Uber, saying that the company broke California law when it failed to disclose a data breach that exposed the license numbers of 600,000 Uber drivers. Mike Feuer filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of California residents, Los Angeles Times reported late on Monday. “We’re taking action because we believe very strongly in the importance of protecting consumers,” Feuer said during a news conference. “The case will focus on Uber’s failure to disclose the data breach to Uber’s California drivers,” he was quoted as saying. The lawsuit seeks $2,500 for each violation of the law. (IANS)
