WELL, YES: Uber’s claim that hackers fully deleted stolen data is ‘nonsensical.’ “Uber’s been sued at least 11 times in just 1 week, faces new scrutiny from Senate.”

The broadly-similar proposed 10 class-action suits were filed in several federal courts across the country: in San Francisco; Los Angeles; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Portland, Chicago; and even Huntsville, Alabama.
On Monday, a group of senators, lead by Sen. John Thune (R-South Dakota) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), specifically asked for a “detailed timeline” of the incident, among other demands due by December 11.

Similarly, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia) also had an even more damning question.

“To the extent Uber had lawfully acquired information enabling it to identify the hackers who had compromised its systems, ensure they would abide by agreements to delete the data and not to disclose the breach, and transfer them $100,000, it conceivably had enough information at hand to assist law enforcement in the apprehension of these criminals,” he wrote.

“Why did Uber choose not to provide relevant forensic information to law enforcement and has this information been provided to law enforcement in the last week?”

Why indeed.
