Anyone else notice the Uber Driver Portal is down and not responding?

Should we be worried about more accounts being hacked??

This is dated 9/24, so perhaps so:

Good thing Uber set their sights on China... I see it is working out well for them and their customers...

Market larger than the US, they said...
We'll just continue using our strong arm tactics and customer demand to force our way in, they said.
Guess that backfired for them...
Apparently the "technology company" didn't consider how China also has the largest pool of Internet hackers in the world...
Welcome to the Internet Mafia, Travis.

Bet any UberIT guys/gals responsible for security are feeling the heat now...

Looks like it is back up...

Whether it is related to hacking or not, based on recent reports, clearly China hackers are still doing a number on Uber.
Guess that is what happens when you piss on a hornet's nest.
Uber has a penchant for pissing people off. They need to re-evaluate their new market strategies.
