Regulators around the world are probing a massive data breach at ride-hailing service Uber and its apparent role in covering it up.
On Tuesday, Uber disclosed that hackers stole data from 57 million riders and drivers in an attack that happened in 2016. The company paid the hackers $100,000 to delete the data and keep the breach quiet.
