Honestly, paying to delete the data is not that bad. At least, they are trying.

- DonHopkins 9y agoI read somewhere that disk drives are so cheap now, that it costs less money to buy more disk drives, than to pay somebody by the hour to delete files. ;) But I guess in this case, Uber did the ethical and financial calculus, and decided they could totally trust somebody who'd broken into their computers, stolen sensitive customer information, and tried to extort them, so they paid him a spectacular hourly wage for few hour project of deleting files that he proposed in a cold-call, without even checking his references, and they even let him work from home! I sure hope the hacker gives Uber a great review on GlassDoor! It makes me think the hacker found vastly more incriminating dirt on them that merely customer data, like Travis Kalanick's email, with a smoking gun proving they're withholding even more incriminating evidence from Wamo than they're already in trouble for.
