Looks like an employee got done by Social engineering and push notification spamming. Cannot quite believe they gave their network creds out to someone who messaged them claiming to be from Uber's IT...What's worse is the fact that network admin creds were on a bloody network share !!

That's one app deleted from my phone, they cannot be trusted with people's data imo.

This is basic stuff and Uber keep some of the most private information people can have. Hopefully this is a kick up the arse for them.

That is an absolutely wild level of compromise.

Proof that humans are the hardest part to secure.

Twitter was done via Slack some time back too. They had some credentials in there for "God" mode that led to some high-profile accounts punting a crypto pyramid pump-and-dump scam.
