Host George Rettas finishes his analysis of the Jacobs Uber Whistleblower which alleges Uber used illicit information obtained through alleged criminal activity tasked by an overreaching Cyber Security program to artificially inflated the companies valuation amid a huge $21 billion dollar dip in the companies estimated worth by investors. Rettas also analyzes a New York Times story where reporter Nicole Perlroth obtained internal Uber emails that memorialize the $100,000 payment made to a hacker was part of the companies bug bounty program and that the company was not paying hackers hush money to cover the now highly public breach to their systems. You’re not going to want to miss this episode of Task Force 7 Radio, as drama at Uber reads more like a nation state spy novel than the security operations of a cab company.
