California State Attorney General Xavier Becerra joined San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon on Sept. 26, to announce a $148 million settlement with Uber over allegations that the company tried to cover up a 2016 data breach.
During a news conference in San Francisco Wednesday morning, Becerra said the ride-hailing service company violated several state and federal laws when it tried to cover up the breach and then paid hackers $100,000 for their silence.
