These days, city streets are full of double-parked sedans with their hazards on, looking for their charges.

The cybercriminals then stole the information of customers and drivers alike and held it for a $100,000 Bitcoin ransom. Joe Sullivan, Uber\u2019s chief security officer at the time, paid the ransom and the criminal group agreed to delete the information they uncovered. While it\u2019s not uncommon for large corporations to give in to cybercriminals and dole out huge ransom payments, Sullivan is facing potential jail time because he didn\u2019t report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission. He was recently found guilty of wire fraud and concealing a felony from authorities.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Uber account holders had their personally identifiable information in nefarious hands without their knowledge.

With a full name, email address, and phone number, cybercriminals can inflict a lot of damage on an innocent person\u2019s credit, steal money from online accounts, or invade someone\u2019s digital privacy. Customers must act swiftly to put the proper safeguards in place, but they can\u2019t do that if they don\u2019t even know a breach has happened! The longer a cybercriminal has to poke and prod someone\u2019s digital footprint, the more havoc they can wreak and profits they can gain.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How to Protect Your Personal Information Before and After a Breach\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Acting swiftly is key to keeping your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/privacy-identity-protection\/take-it-personally-ten-tips-for-protecting-your-personally-identifiable-information-pii\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">personally identifiable information<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (PII) private after a breach, though there are a few measures you can take right now that could prevent your information from being compromised.
