Re: Careem has identified an incident involving unauthorised access to customer data
#12It is ingenuine on their part to not report how detailed the trip data they have is. Trip data could easily show Users' home/office locations, their daily travel patterns, their kid's daycare and whatnot. This kind of knowledge can be extremely dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. Careem should be more straightforward about this and explain the consequences, rather than slyly gloss over the most dangerous part…
They also have only said when they figured out the breach, but not when the breach was. It could have happened a day before January 14th, or 3 months before January 14th. The difference is how much trust I would give them.
Interestingly they said the breach was done by "online criminals". Do they know, or do they automatically assume that people illegally accessing systems are criminals?

Exactly what I did when I opened the page.

I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make here. The fact that they are doing something illegal makes them criminals.

Also
* whoever you have ever been in a relationship with
* which VCs have given you a second meeting on a Monday
* when you exercise
* which cuisines you prefer
* which specialist doctor offices you have visited
* whether you have been interviewing at other companies
Forget this Facebook nonsense. Uber knows everything about you.

Not in all countries. In Canada at least, plenty of things are against the law (illegal) but do not constitute a criminal offence.
I'm not committing a crime when I break the speed limit almost every day on my way to work, but what I'm doing is still illegal.

My hunch is the distinction they're trying to make is between criminals who steal data for nothing more than monetary gain versus those who would steal such data for more nefarious reasons, perhaps on behalf of a nation.

#20Why is Uber included in the title here? It makes it seem like Uber was involved. I think the title should mention, at most, the Careem is a Middle Eastern ridesharing company.
Ridesharing could also include long-distance ride-sharing like BlaBlaCar. Since Uber-for-X has become a thing, I don't think including Uber in the title is a bad thing.
