Uber has agreed to pay $148 million to settle a class action lawsuit over a 2016 data breach that exposed the personal information of 57 million drivers and riders. If your data was affected, you may be entitled to a cash payment (pro rata share) — with no proof required to file a claim.

File Your Claim →What Happened?
In 2016, Uber suffered a massive data breach affecting 57 million riders and drivers worldwide. Hackers stole names, email addresses, and phone numbers of 50 million riders, plus the personal information and driver's license numbers of 7 million drivers. Rather than disclosing the breach, Uber paid the hackers $100,000 to delete the data and keep quiet — covering up the breach for over a year.
When the cover-up was discovered in 2017, it triggered federal and state investigations, the firing of Uber's chief security officer, and criminal charges. Uber eventually paid $148 million to settle with all 50 U.S. states and territories over the breach and cover-up. The settlement covers both riders and drivers affected by the 2016 breach.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Individual payments from the $148 million fund depend on the number of valid claims filed. Given the large class size of 57 million people, per-person payments are likely modest. However, drivers whose license numbers were exposed may receive higher payments. No proof of the breach is required — just confirm you were an Uber rider or driver during the qualifying period.
