Summary
According to a post on X by @The_Cyber_News, Uber confirmed that attackers reached personal information of thousands of US drivers held by Fireworks AI, including driver's license details. The access followed stolen login credentials that gave entry to Uber's account there, and Uber has not said how many people are affected. The same post says Cursor published a detailed account and remediation steps for its own incident. A researcher quoted in the post reads Cursor's report as tied to Fireworks traces that exposed credentials, but the excerpt is cut off before the details.

Why it matters
Companies and developers that rely on third-party AI services may need to check how their credentials are stored and used, since stolen logins were central to the Uber case.

The link between the Cursor and Fireworks incidents is not yet confirmed by the source, so the fuller Cursor report will be worth reading.
