Uber paid a 20-year-old hacker $100,000 to destroy user data he obtained and keep quiet about the big, bad breach. Reuters reports the hacker is a Florida man living with his mom in a small home trying to help pay the bills. The man signed a nondisclosure agreement and submitted his systems for a full digital forensic analysis to verify that all Uber data had been expunged, Reuters reports. Questions remain over whether the payment was a bug bounty or hush money, potentially in response to an extortion demand.”]
