The last four digits of your credit card along with the expiration date are easy to get once someone has bought your Uber user name and password. And if you use that same password for other accounts Oh brother! You've got an #Uberproblem ! #Uberinformation is on sale for as little as an anonymous dollar per account, available in bulk online.

It's not clear how many accounts are out there. It's also not clear whether the security breach is due to a moral or a technical failure. Given the widely understood reptilian code of ethics that prevails at Uber it's anyone's guess.
