Uber officials have yet to say precisely what information
was contained in the two now-unavailable GitHub gists. But in a lawsuit filed
Friday against the unknown John Doe intruders, Uber lawyers said the URLs
contained a security key that allowed unauthorized access to the names and
driver's license numbers of about 50,000 Uber drivers. The ride-sharing service
disclosed the breach on Friday, more than two months after it was discovered.
