UK and Amsterdam Fine Uber £900,000 | Avast

The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) have each levied fines on international car service Uber to the tune of a collective £900,000. The fines were charged for, in the words of the ICO, “failing to protect customers’ personal information during a cyberattack” as well as allowing their system to be hit by an “avoidable” security problem.
