There hasn’t been / haven't been an official information?

I'm just curios, which one is correct and why:

There hasn't been an official information from Microsoft.

or

There haven't been an official information from Microsoft.
  

Top answer

There hasn't been any official information from Microsoft. You can't say "an information"; it's uncountable.

Thank you for your explanation, but can you explain me this why it's hasn't been instead of haven't been?

Tell me which one's correct "Information on this is needed or are needed"?

When you reply to this, you will have gotten your answer.

My guess is "information on this is needed", but I still don't understand why it's hasn't been and not haven't been.
I know that haven't been is used for when in a sentence like:

I haven't been there in ages.

or

We haven't been there in ages.

So my vague guess is that "hasn't been" is used for uncountable nouns? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

There isn't a problem. (singular) - There hasn't been a problem.
There aren't any problems (plural) - There haven't been any problems.
There isn't any information. (uncountable) - There hasn't been any information.
