Australian users of ride-hailing app Uber are being warned that their online account information may be at risk of being stolen and used to rack up large charges. Instances of Uber details could be found being sold for as little as $4 on the dark web, or the encrypted part of the internet used largely for illegal activity, according to cyber security expert Simon Smith. The warning comes after a series of reports in recent weeks about hackers targeting accounts belonging to Australians using Uber.
