Uber reportedly used secret ‘Hell’ software to track rival Lyft drivers - The Verge

'Between 2014 and 2016, Uber reportedly used a secret program named “Hell” to keep tabs on its main rival Lyft. '

' This revelation of secret “Hell” software — and the possibility of lawsuits issued by a rival sensing blood — only add to the company’s challenges ahead. '

'According to a report from The Information, the software let the company track how many Lyft drivers were available and where, as well as letting Uber find out which of its drivers also worked for Lyft. '

'According to The Information, Uber created fake Lyft rider accounts and spoofed their location, letting the company gather data on where drivers were available. '

'Over time, the company also found a way to track individual Lyft drivers, and was able to cross-reference their movements to find out if they also worked for Uber. '
