Denied being an uber driver.. I have a misdeamanor assualt.. My criminal record after 42 years on this planet. is by the defendents own words about a 5 second fight in a bar between me and a friend of a friend.. Total bullshit but mudslimes who just moved here who could have done anything in their home countries become uber drivers.. America for Americans just kidding America for mudslimes.
Ok...still no problem with Uber. They have been facing a smear campaign for a long time. Especially from Gawker. I'm guessing one of their whores was fucked by the CEO and didn't get a call back. And it makes sense there would be less ambulance usage with Uber available. That's a good thing.
This news story hit recently:
tldr: a hacker found several major vulnerabilities in Uber's system, including tracking its drivers and storing their GPS location in a vulnerable place. When the hacker attempted to turn these vulnerabilities in to Uber's security bounty program for the cash reward, Uber said "Yeah we know about that, so it's not a flaw, no reward." Looks pretty bad for Uber.
Bada bing, bada boom, immediately NPR runs a sappy saccharine story about Uber providing free amberlamps to the sick and needy. Corporations helping corporations, what a shocker.
It took me way too long to find a site that wasn't complete garbage talk about the security coverup, I mean one straight up had sexism and misogyny in the first sentence of the article, how am I supposed to keep track of all this cancer.

Long story short, some people 'hacked' access to a lot of personal information, Uber paid them 100,000 to keep them quiet.
You know what they say about coincidences.

Yeah, it's a common problem when reading news.

Just a hunch, but I don't think Uber is going to be around much longer.

Yep, some money definitely changed hands over this.

I think this is the only thing I could find about not paying white hackers, one person is not significant enough to call a trend anyway. https://medium.com/bread-and-circuses/how-i-got-paid-0-from-the-uber-security-bug-bounty-aa9646aa103f
The reputation of companies suddenly becomes a lot more important than its users' personal information once you get big enough.
