Uber didn't notify its drivers of the breach for almost a year.

Prosecutors say the defendants used stolen credit card information to defraud the site of about $1.6 million.

ACD containing the personal information of about 15,000 employees ended up in a civilian's hands after she purchased a refurbished disk drive with the CD inside.
