Transport service company Uber has had its fair share of problems through the years, but lately instances of hacked accounts and fraudulently booked trips seem to have increased, fueling speculations that the company has suffered a data breach.

Alan White has a good collection of recent Twitter complaints about hacked accounts, changed emails and phone numbers, and fraudulent trips charged to the legitimate user's payment card.
