Hackers previously stole information about Uber drivers and the company acknowledged in 2014 that its employees had used a software tool called “God View” to track passengers. Zefo, who will start in her new job from 6 August, joins Uber from Intel Corp where she was chief privacy & security counsel. Hania joins from Dutch digital mapping company TomTom NV, where he was vice president of privacy & security.
