Uber Staff Still Stalking Customers

Uber employees can pull customer data at will, alleged Ward Spangenberg, the company's former forensic investigator, in a court declaration filed earlier this fall as part of his bid to prevent the firm from forcing his case into arbitration.

Uber staffers have been able to track high-profile politicians, celebrities and ex-significant others, Spangenberg said.

His original complaint, filed in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, centers on his dismissal from the company.

Uber continues to allow broad access to users' trip information, five security professionals formerly employed at the company told Reveal.

That has been going on, they said, in spite of Uber's assertions two years ago that it had policies prohibiting such actions, following news that executives were taking advantage of its "God View" feature to track customers in real time without their permission.
