Hacker who stole data on 57 millions people from Uber paid $100,000 to destroy the data

NOQ Report Is Moving to AmericaFirstReport.com

Last year, Uber was hacked. Over 57 million passengers and 600,000 drivers had their personal information stolen by a 20-year-old hacker from Florida. According to three people talking to Reuters, the company paid the hacker $100,000 in a “bug bounty” program.
Under normal circumstances, these bug bounties are intended to encourage hackers to find vulnerabilities. In this case, the hacker exploited the vulnerability, then was put into the bug bounty program so his ransom could be paid. In layman’s terms, the Uber executives who knew about the breach used the bug bounty so they could pay it and pretend it was all part of IT security protocol. They didn’t want to admit they were hacked and likely wouldn’t have admitted it if an investigation by the board last month hadn’t revealed it.

Exclusive: Uber paid 20-year-old Florida man to keep data breach secret

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-cyber-payment-exclusive/exclusive-uber-paid-20-year-old-florida-man-to-keep-data-breach-secret-sources-idUSKBN1E101CNewly appointed Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi fired two of Uber’s top security officials when he announced the breach last month, saying the incident should have been disclosed to regulators at the time it was discovered, about a year before.

It remains unclear who made the final decision to authorize the payment to the hacker and to keep the breach secret, though the sources said then-CEO Travis Kalanick was aware of the breach and bug bounty payment in November of last year.

The company, while still on top of the ridesharing industry, has faced setbacks, lawsuits, and fierce competition chasing them. The hack came at a vulnerable time for Uber, possibly prompting executives to attempt subterfuge instead of coming clean from the start.

It behooves patriots to acquire physical gold and silver or make the move to self-directed precious metals IRAs from America-First companies that do not donate to Democrats. Go to Our Gold Guy for the personal buying experience with Ira Bershatsky. Go to Genesis Gold Group, a Christian fellowship-driven precious metals company. Or go to GoldCo for peace of mind from a bigger company.



They’re Trying to Shut Us Down

Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.

For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.

Thank you and God bless!
