Uber 2016 data breach and cover-up
Attackers stole personal data on 57 million Uber riders and drivers in October 2016. Rather than disclose, Uber paid the hackers a $100,000 ransom and disguised it as a bug bounty — a cover-up that led to a $148 million multistate settlement and the criminal conviction of Uber's security chief.
