Uber Freight Investigates Data Breach After Helix Group Claims Theft of Nearly 1 Million Files

Uber Freight is investigating a "data security incident" after the Helix extortion group claimed to have exfiltrated nearly 1 million files — mailboxes, accounts payable records, and dispatch documents — posting them to its leak site on August 6, 2026. Uber Freight says operations are unaffected and has not confirmed the breach or disclosed whether it received ransom demands. TechCrunch could not verify the files' authenticity.
