Uber Freight Investigates Data Breach Claim by Helix Extortion Group

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