Texas Completed Payments to Texas Uber Drivers
Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General
AUSTIN – $4.2 million in payments to approximately 42,000 Texans whose personal information was compromised in a 2016 data breach at Uber Technologies, Inc. has been completed.
Eligible Texans are Uber drivers whose personal information was accessed during a 2016 data breach, which Uber failed to disclose until November 2017. Drivers who first signed up to drive for Uber after the breach are not eligible.
Texas obtained its judgment as part of a multistate effort. The judgment included injunctive terms designed to strengthen Uber’s data security practices and corporate governance and included a required payment to Texas of approximately $6.5 million dollars.
Other states participating in providing redress to drivers include Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
