Uber Paid Hackers to Keep Quiet About 57 Million Compromised Accounts

Hide yo WiFis, hide yo kilobytes, they hackin’ er’ebody out here!

All these horrible anti-White companies are getting rekt left and right, with angry, bitter sluts on one side and hackers stealing their data on the other. I guess neither of these problems would be an issue if you’d just hire White males, huh?

This is just nature asserting itself.

Reuters:

Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL] paid hackers $100,000 to keep secret a massive breach last year that exposed the personal information of about 57 million accounts of the ride-service provider, the company said on Tuesday.

Discovery of the U.S. company’s cover-up of the incident resulted in the firing of two employees responsible for its response to the hack, said Dara Khosrowshahi, who replaced co-founder Travis Kalanick as CEO in August.

“None of this should have happened, and I will not make excuses for it,” Khosrowshahi said in a blog post. (ubr.to/2AmxlQt)

The breach occurred in October 2016 but Khosrowshahi said he had only recently learned of it.

Uh huh. Sure.

The hack is another controversy for Uber on top of sexual harassment allegations, a lawsuit alleging trade secrets theft and multiple federal criminal probes that culminated in Kalanick’s ouster in June.

Wow, sounds like you guys have it tough.

Hard to feel sorry for you though, given how you’ve thrown us under the bus without provocation.

Spoiler warning: Uber was among them.

Well, actually, I guess we did provoke them.

Can’t take a joke, faggots?

But then again, they went full-cuck, lobbying against DACA and helping their drivers avoid getting deported.

I hope they go bankrupt.

The stolen information included names, email addresses and mobile phone numbers of Uber users around the world, and the names and license numbers of 600,000 U.S. drivers, Khosrowshahi said.

Uber passengers need not worry as there was no evidence of fraud, while drivers whose license numbers had been stolen would be offered free identity theft protection and credit monitoring, Uber said.

“Don’t worry, peasants, all your info was stolen, but I’m sure the nice criminals who have it won’t sell it for money or anything…”

Two hackers gained access to proprietary information stored on GitHub, a service that allows engineers to collaborate on software code. There, the two people stole Uber’s credentials for a separate cloud-services provider where they were able to download driver and rider data, the company said.

Yeah, I don’t think GitHub was hacked. So that means the dumbasses at Uber probably divulged the access codes to the hackers in question through sheer incompetence.

“You say you’re from GitHub? You need our passwords for maintenance purposes? Sure!”

Uber said it had fired its chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, and a deputy, Craig Clark, this week because of their role in the handling of the incident. Sullivan, formerly the top security official at Facebook Inc (FB.O) and a federal prosecutor, served as both security chief and deputy general counsel for Uber.

Pure PR damage control. If the security chief was really responsible for the problem, they would have been fired soon after it ocured, not after they revealed the hack to the public a year later.

And the “handling” of the incident isn’t the problem here. It’s not like you can recover stolen data. At best you can bribe the thiefs in the hope they don’t cause you a headache, which is what they did. Ideally, you want to avoid having the data stolen in the first place. But there’s no protection against affirmative action hires handing out the passwords to your systems.

You should have kept the Pakis driving your cars, Uber, not managing your software.
