The ride-hailing company Uber will pay Washington state $5.79 million after it failed to notify drivers that their personal information was accessed as part of a major data breach in November of 2016.

The settlement, announced Wednesday, is part of a joint resolution with all 50 states.

Uber acknowledged the breach in November 2017, saying it paid hackers a $100,000 ransom to destroy personal data they stole concerning more than 57 million customers and drivers. The breach affected about 13,000 Uber drivers in our state.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson says Uber is required to tighten data security and make sure changes it puts in place are effective.
