Uber Accused Of Espionage, Hacking And Bribery

UBER

(San Francisco, CA)  —  Uber is being accused of espionage, hacking and bribery by a former employee.  The lawyer for a former Uber security analyst named Richard Jacobs penned a 37-page letter with these allegations listed in it and even more.  The letter was made public in court filings as part of an ongoing lawsuit.  It details how Uber spied on and bribed foreign officials, hacked into private chat groups, stole trade secrets, and abused secret messaging apps and attorney-client privilege to impede investigations.  Waymo, which was formerly Google’s self-driving car company, is suing Uber for allegedly stealing trade secrets.  Waymo claims that a former employee downloaded confidential files before going to work for Uber as part of the unit assigned to develop self-driving cars.
