One of my Uber rides two weeks ago went completely nuts. Both my and my drivers app screwed up at the same time and I was never picked up and then seconds later the app claimed I reached my destination.
You have to wonder whether something like this is implicated.
That's one phenomenal leap of logic there. Why would you think that?
Merely that both my and the drivers app screwed up at the same time, and have a good chance of hitting the same Uber end-point.
Apps that consume APIs would be more sensitive to unexpected junk than browsers.
But there are so many other much more likely reasons why something like that would have happened, it is quite a leap to think that it is somehow related to this issue.

Probably not.
If someone knew about this exploit they're not going to be messing with people's Uber rides for lulz.
I wasn't implying intention.
