Uber's hack probe

Massive shock...........Uber's back in the headline for the wrong reasons.....again! It is said that Uber has failed to disclose a massive data breach. Which is shocking because of how their business is now looking after what happened in London. Investigations were being opened by regulators from three different places; Italy, The US and the UK. Now the US is a massive country whereas the UK and Italy are medium sized. However they all hold a lot of power and persuasion over other countries in the world, especially The US. Now, this happened because Uber failed to notify user or regulators about the incident which happened last year in 2016, the breach included the theft of names, email addresses and phone numbers of approximately fifty million passengers and seven million drivers for that period of time. They finally admitted that on Tuesday 21st of November 2017. Yes, it is good to admit that something has gone wrong, but it shouldn't take more than a year to do so...
