Uber finally reports months-old data breach that affected 50,000 drivers

Car-hailing service Uber announced on Friday that a data breach left the personal information of about 50,000 drivers vulnerable, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Most states leave the exact amount of notification time vague, but the maximum among those that do offer specifics is 60 days.
