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

The hacker claimed to be 18 years old and told that he broke into Uber for fun and is thinking about leaking the company’s source code. They also claimed to have gained access to Uber’s systems through login credentials obtained from an employee via social engineering, which allowed them to access an internal company VPN, according to cybersecurity researcher Corben Leo. They then discovered PowerShell scripts on Uber’s intranet containing access management credentials that allegedly allowed them to breach Uber’s AWS and G Suite accounts.
