Hi Fred:
Great post. I was very shock that Uber didn’t announced data breach and try to use money to cover up.
Fraser,
I don’t believe that UBER was hacked. UBER had a long history on setting on setting customers and drivers data. They always come with new stories about been victims.
A quick search on Google will give you the statistics about how many times UBER was hacked.
