Uber was apparently hacked by a teen, and employees mistook it for a joke

The alleged hacker’s Slack message was so brazen that many Uber employees initially mistook it for a joke. Employee responses to the post included sirens and popcorn emoji, as well as the “it’s happening” GIF. According to one unnamed Uber employee, Yuga Labs security engineer Sam Curry, staff were interacting with the hacker as if they were playing a joke.
