National class action law firm offers free, confidential case evaluations to Uber drivers and others whose personal information may have been exposed in the reported data breach.

NEWTOWN, Pa., Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Edelson Lechtzin LLP, a national class action law firm, is investigating data privacy claims arising from a reported data breach at Uber. Anyone who has received a data breach notice from Uber or who believes their personal information may have been exposed can request a free case evaluation.

In October 2026, Uber experienced a data breach involving one of its third-party technology providers, Fireworks AI. Hackers reportedly gained access to the provider's internal credentials and used them to access information belonging to Uber drivers. The stolen information included personal details and driver's license information belonging to thousands of individuals across several states. Uber responded by disconnecting its systems from the provider, investigating the incident, and notifying potentially affected drivers.

Based on public accounts and regulatory filings, the information potentially involved varied by individual. Uber has confirmed that drivers' personal information and driver's license information were stolen, although its sample notification letter does not specify all categories of information affected.

The investigation focuses on Uber and individuals who were affected by this breach. Anyone who has received a data breach notification connected to this incident may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud and is encouraged to come forward.

Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a potential class action to pursue legal remedies on behalf of individuals whose sensitive personal data may have been compromised in the reported breach. A successful case could recover compensation for losses such as lost time, out-of-pocket costs, and loss of privacy. It could push Uber to strengthen how it protects personal information.
