The hacker 'reconfigured Uber’s OpenDNS to display a graphic image to employees.'
giant Uber said it fell victim to a hacker — or group of hackers — that they believe is linked to a notorious “cybergang” responsible for a slew of high-level hacks in recent months.
Uber believes the hack, which took place Thursday, stemmed from a compromised company contractor's account,. The contractor’s “personal device had been infected with malware” — and despite two-factor authentication initially blocking the hacker, the contractor accepted an approval request and the hacker got in.
“The attacker then posted a message to a company-wide Slack channel, which many of you saw, and reconfigured Uber’s OpenDNS to display a graphic image to employees on some internal sites,” the company said. The “graphic image” in question was reportedly a penis. An anonymous Uber employee on the tech forum Blind alleged that the hacker spammed the company’s internal Slack with racist slurs and claims that"Uber underpays its drivers."
