We have an update on the Uber hack, British teen arrested

Hello everyone!

I’m not going to let the day go by without blogging this article about a British teen that was recently arrested after the Uber Hack that we covered on TSB’s podcast.

Uber has a press release page on this, and I did read it. If you wish to read it, this is the link you need to do so.

Last the TSB team read it, it was updated the 19th, and thats what we talked about as well as the recent Security Now that we published to the blog too.

The article is titled British teen arrested in hacking case and comes from Cyberscoop.

I always like these types of stories, and I can’t necessarily blame Uber for this as the supposed contracter really had no choice but to approve the request as he was getting bombarded with requests.

Apparently, the teen is 17 years of age, and of course is not named in the article. In the article, they link to Rockstar Games, another breach Security Now covered in the same podcast Uber was talked about.

There’s plenty more, so make sure that you pick this article up. This may be the last we hear on this, but if we see something else, we’ll let you know.

Thanks for reading, and make it a great day!
