About 57 million users of the Uber app, shown above, had their names, email addresses and phone numbers accessed in a 2016 hack. Last year, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles paid hackers nearly $17,000 after its network was infiltrated and disabled. And this year there were reports that many companies paid ransom to the hackers behind the infamous WannaCry attack. Uber did not immediately respond to a request for comment about their decision to pay off hackers. A year later, he said, Uber finds itself even worse off than it was after the hack.
