Uber’s bad days are far from over. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro sued Uber on Monday for not disclosing a massive data breach for more than a year after it occurred in 2016.

Shapiro’s lawsuit alleged that Uber violated Pennsylvania state law by not notifying customers within a “reasonable amount of time,” The Hill reported. Shapiro can seek up to $1,000 in fines for every violation.

“Uber violated Pennsylvania law by failing to put our residents on timely notice of this massive data breach,” Shapiro said in a statement, according to The Hill. “Instead of notifying impacted consumers of the breach within a reasonable amount of time, Uber hid the incident for over a year – and actually paid the hackers to delete the data and stay quiet.

sudshr47 December 26, 2017

Get those shovels out, Pennsylvanians.

The city of Erie is operating under a “snow emergency” declaration in the wake of a storm that kicked off shortly after 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. As of 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 26, total accumulation had reached 56.5 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

It’s the state’s largest-ever snowfall over a two-day period. Data from the NWS puts Erie’s Christmas 2017 accumulation ahead of a 1958 storm in Morgantown, which saw 44 inches pile up over the same period.

The 1 PM snow observation at Erie International Airport was 1.5″ of new snow since 7 AM. This brings the daily total to 20.5″ of snow. The 2-day total since midnight Christmas Day is 54.5″ of snow. The storm total since snow began after 7 PM Christmas Eve is 56.5″ of snow#pawx
