News that hackers accessed the personal data of 57 million Uber accounts has consumers asking themselves a question that’s beginning to feel all too familiar: Am I vulnerable and how do I find out?

Unfortunately, finding the answer isn’t as easy as it was with other major hacks.

Uber, which paid hackers $100,000 to hide the 2016 breach from customers, is still seemingly playing defense. The company maintains that individual riders don’t need to take any action since Uber has “seen no evidence of fraud or misuse tied to the incident.” In a blog post discussing the incident, the company did not indicate that will contact customers whose accounts were compromised, which is the typical procedure in such breaches. Instead, Uber says it is monitoring affected accounts and has flagged them for additional fraud protection.
