Names, email addresses and phone numbers of 57 million Uber riders and drivers exposed in October 2016. Instead of disclosing the breach at the time, Uber paid $100,000 in ransom to the two hackers with access to the stolen data in exchange for keeping the incident secret and deleting the information. Instead, Uber started monitoring affected riders’ accounts for fraud 12 months after the incident.”]
