How To Recover A Hacked Uber Account

Having any of your online accounts getting hacked can be frustrating. That is especially true if your Uber account is hacked, given that it likely contains your credit card details. A hacker would be able to get free rides, track your location, and charge Uber eats to your account.

Uber has a responsibility to keep your personal and banking data safe. You can follow our guide below to get your account restored on your own. But if you need extra help, DoNotPay can apply pressure to get your hacked Uber account restored.

How to Tell If Your Uber Account Was Hacked

To determine if it was hacked, check your Uber account for any strange account activity such as:

• Receiving trip requests that you didn't make
• Calls or messages from drivers about a pickup when you didn't schedule a ride
• Receiving receipts for trips you didn't make
• Account changes that you didn't authorize
• Unauthorized changes to your payment settings
• Changes to your Uber password or linked email account without your knowledge

It will also help to check the following notifications:

• Are there any recorded trips that you don't recognize?
• Are you being asked to review drivers that are unfamiliar?
• Do you see any scheduled pickups that you didn't authorize?

What to Do If Your Uber Was Hacked and You Still Have Access to Your Account

If you can still access your Uber account but you feel that it has been compromised, here’s what you can do:

1. Open the Uber app
2. Select "Help" from the app menu
3. Tap on "I can't sign in or request a ride"
4. Then select "I forgot my password"
5. Follow the instructions to create a new password.
6. We recommend creating the new password with a password manager.
7. Consider changing the password on your linked email as that may be the cause of the security breach.
8. Call your bank to have any credit cards on your Uber account canceled and replaced.

What to Do If Your Username or Password on Your Hacked Uber Account Was Changed

If the hacker has changed the password and the email associated with your account, here’s what you should do:

1. Contact your bank to have any credit cards associated with your Uber account frozen. Report any fraudulent charges to your bank.
2. You will need to use Uber's contact widget to try to get your account restored.
3. Scroll near the bottom to complete this form. Be as detailed as possible in the field called "Share details." Be sure to include any and all unauthorized charges here. Include dates and dollar amounts. This section can be useful in receiving refunds for unauthorized charges.

Many users have reported slow response times from Uber. Prepare to be patient.
