Most people don't know Uber covered up the largest breach in ride history. 😱

Late 2016: Hackers easily infiltrated Uber's unsecured AWS cloud storage, swiping names, emails, phone numbers of 57 million riders worldwide, plus license numbers and other details from 600,000 drivers. It was a goldmine for identity theft.

Enter Joseph Sullivan, Uber's top security chief and ex-FBI cyber expert. Instead of alerting authorities or users, he tracked the hackers online, negotiated a deal, and wired them $100,000 in Bitcoin. In return: data deletion, a signed NDA, and total silence. Sullivan called it a "greyhat" ethical hack bounty; critics screamed felony extortion payoff.

Under CEO Travis Kalanick's aggressive culture, Uber buried it deep. No notifications. No SEC filing. They hid it through relentless growth pushes and IPO whispers, fearing stock-killer headlines amid scandals like Greyball spying on regulators.

A year later, in November 2017, new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi—hired to clean house—dropped the bomb: full disclosure to regulators, users, and media. "We didn't deserve the trust... this was a mistake," he admitted. Kalanick era fallout.

Fallout hit hard: Uber paid $148 million in fines to the FTC and 50 states. Sullivan got axed in 2017, indicted in 2020 on obstruction charges, convicted in 2022 (appeal pending 2023). The breach sparked lawsuits, eroded trust, and fueled GDPR reckoning worldwide.

Was it damage control genius or straight-up crime? Debate still rages—the line between Silicon Valley hustle and handcuffs has never been thinner.
