Uber Freight Hit by Cyberattack as Helix Hacking Group Claims Data Theft
Uber Freight, the logistics division of Uber, confirmed a cyberattack by the Helix hacking group, which alleges it stole sensitive data, including emails, cloud files, and dispatch documents. Despite the breach, Uber Freight stated that its business operations remain unaffected, with systems functioning normally.
The Helix group, known for extortion tactics, has reportedly earned over $10 million this year by threatening to leak stolen data unless ransom demands are met. Uber Freight has not disclosed whether it has engaged with the hackers or paid any ransom.
The incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity risks in the logistics sector, though Uber Freight has not reported operational disruptions. Further details on the breach’s scope or response remain undisclosed.
