So they are a shitty technology company AND a shitty cab company...

Hey guys! I'm Lorenzo, one of the reporters that wrote about this. Has any of you heard from Uber yet?

 

[DHJ]

I contacted uber support and travisk directly within a few minutes of seeing it. I've heard nothing from Uber. I don't expect to, quite honestly.

 

[Lorenzofb]

Well, I'm asking because Uber told me that they "will follow up with them [Uber drivers] directly" yesterday...Was your data in there?

 

[DHJ]

Oh, I would also like to point out that it wasn't fixed "within 30 minutes" or whatever Uber stated. I contacted them at 3:29pm and I could still refresh the page and see other drivers' data at 5:02pm. I write code and I understand the fix might have been quite complex, but they could at least be honest about it.

At the time of when it was going on, my account was good, i saw nobody else's info. Just today though it says all my documents are missing

 

[DHJ]

I reported the issue to them. I have no idea if my info was on another driver's page. There is simply no way a driver could "know" that another driver saw their information. It was just dumping image after image into the web browser. Hundreds of documents, photos, IDs, insurance cards, registrations, etc. I guess Uber is stating that they are aware of which documents were being queried incorrectly? Who knows.

 

[Bart McCoy]

UBer said that some folks social security numbers were exposed. I never uploaded any documents with that on there. What scanned documents of soc sec number would Uber have??


Also, my dashboard says all my documents are missing. But in the driver app it says everything is good with the correct expiration dates

 

[Lorenzofb]

DHJ, can you contact me? lorenzofb AT vice com or 917 257 13 82

 

[Bart McCoy]

I was afraid of this. Are they going to compensate you for your time and trouble since it wasn't YOUR error? They should! Are you able to log on?
Did those documents TRULY need updating.....or would they have still been good if Uber hadn't LOST them?

(Please let us know how they respond to your email!)

Yeah, I checked my information long after the reports came out, and actually still am having the issue with no paperwork beinf uploaded, even though I can see the papers next to the issue. I'm still having that issue.

 

[merkurfan]

Same here. They are still in my profile but not in the right place. Cant go on line. Dont really care.

So what, you're going to screw the people who are driving by pinging and canceling multiple times? Kinda makes you the **** taking money from those that can't afford to miss, although i might be understanding you incorrectly.
