Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good, but the attacker spammed 2FA requests at an employee until they convinced them to accept one. Other than FIDO I think, most forms of 2FA are vulnerable to this.

I'm not sure what you mean, unless they have access to my 2FA app how can they get access to my codes?

The vibe I get is this is an internal compromise. Disgruntled employee, maybe looking for evidence of upcoming layoffs, doesn't find them, now makes it look like "a hacker".

Currently there is an 18 year old hacker bragging everywhere on the internet and seems he/she has no clue what to do with his/her newfound god mode.

What harm can be done to me, as an uber user that has their cc data in the uber system by this? Is my credit card information compromised in a way that allows attackers stealing my money?

Potentially yes, very likely yes it seems.
