EU Data Protection Authorities Establish Task Force to Collaborate on Uber Data Breach

Hunton & Williams writes:

On November 29, 2017, the EU’s Article 29 Working Party (”Working Party”) announced the establishment of a task force to coordinate the plethora of national investigations throughout the EU into Uber’s 2016 data breach that affected approximately 57 million users worldwide.
