Uber employees used the company’s lax tracking system to monitor the
whereabouts of “high profile politicians, celebrities, and even personal
acquaintances,” according to a declaration in a lawsuit filed against Uber
by its former forensic investigator.
根據前法院調查員對 Uber 提起的訴訟聲明，Uber 員工利用公司疏於管理的追蹤系統
來監視知名的政要, 名人, 或是自己認識的人。
The declaration was revealed today by a Center for Investigative Reporting
article detailing security standards at the company. The article also cites
former employees who say “thousands” of employees had access to Uber’s
tracking data, as well as personal information on other employees and
drivers, with few protections in place to prevent improper access and misuse.
調查報告中心 (CIR) 的文章揭露了訴訟聲明並詳述該公司的安全標準。該文引述了前員
工的說法，有許多員工曾存取 Uber 的追蹤資料，以及其他員工與司機的個人資訊。這
些資訊只有很少的保護措施來防止不當的存取與濫用。
The lawsuit was filed by Ward Spangenberg, who worked on security systems at
Uber starting in March 2015. The suit claims the 45-year-old Spangenberg
dealt with age discrimination, as well as retaliation for blowing the whistle
on alleged security lapses and other problems at the company. He was fired 11
months after he started.
該訴訟由 Ward Spangenberg 提起的，他從2015年3月開始在 Uber 的安全系統工作。
Spangenberg 主張，45歲的他在公司被年齡歧視，以及因指出資安過失和其他問題而被報
復。他在到職11個月後被解聘。
The declaration also alleges that Uber would shut down connectivity in the
office during law enforcement raids to stifle investigators, and improperly
destroyed documents related to pending litigation.
該聲明亦宣稱，Uber 可能會在檢調突襲檢查期間關閉辦公室的連接來阻止調查人員，以
及不當地銷毀與訴訟有關的文件。
Uber first dealt with a tracking controversy after its use of a tool called “
God View,” which allowed employees to track riders as they moved, was
revealed by BuzzFeed in 2014. Spangenberg told CIR the company did put in
place some privacy protections during his time there, and has renamed the
tool “Heaven View.” According to CIR, at least some employees — “fewer
than 10,” Uber said — have been fired for improper use of tracking.
BuzzFeed 在2014年揭露，Uber 在使用一個稱為"God View"的工具後，首次處理了一個追
蹤爭議，該工具允許員工追蹤移動的車手。Spangenberg 告訴 CIR，Uber 在他任職的期
間確實做了一些隱私保護，並重命名該工具為"Heaven View"。據 CIR 指出，至少有一些
員工 - "少於10名的員工"，Uber 表示 — 已經因不當使用追蹤系統而被解僱。
“Uber continues to increase our security investments and many of these
efforts, like our multi-factor authentication checks and bug bounty program,
have been widely reported,” Uber said in a statement to The Verge. “We have
hundreds of security and privacy experts working around the clock to protect
our data. This includes enforcing to authorized employees solely for purposes
of their job responsibilities, and all potential violations are quickly and
thoroughly investigated.”
Uber 向 The Verge 聲明，"Uber 持續地增加我們的資安投資，像是多因素驗證檢查與曾
被廣泛報導的軟體 bug 通報獎勵計畫"。"我們有上百位資安與隱私專家不分晝夜地工作
，以保護我們的資料。 這包括要求被授權的員工僅能因工作目的而存取資料，並對所有
可能的違規行為快速地徹底調查。"
The company says approval “by managers and the legal team” is required for
employees to access data, and, although some employees are given legitimate
access to data, that access is compartmentalized to what employees need for
their jobs.
該公司表示，須由"經理與法律團隊"的批准，員工才可以存取資料。雖然一些員工可以合
法的存取資料，但那些資料是他們工作所需的資料。
But Uber has recently felt increased pressure over its tracking capabilities,
after a new version of its app was released that can track users even when
they are not using the app. The new allegations may inflame those concerns
even further.
但是最近 Uber 受到越來越多的壓力與其追蹤能力有關。在 Uber 新版本的 App 釋出後
，被發現即使用戶沒有打開該 App，依然會被追蹤當前位置。新的指控可能會激起更多關
注。
