Uber的公关危机

点击上方蓝字“菜菜口语”一起进步！

2017年年末的时候，Uber才爆出来一年前黑客就曾盗取过Uber云端存储的大量用户个人信息。这样的危机，Uber处理起来也是朴素又无奈...结合Uber之前出现过的各种危机，不妨试想一下网约车产业会普遍存在什么潜在问题。一起来听听这篇CNN Money的新闻片段吧：

Uber’s Massive Hack: What We Know

Uber's disclosure that hackers accessed the personal information of 57 million riders and drivers last year, a breach it didn't disclose publicly until Tuesday, adds new potential legal woes for the already troubled company.

At the time of the breach, Uber paid hackers $100,000 to destroy the data and did not tell regulators or users that their information was stolen.

Uber is trying to salvage its reputation following a number of high-profile controversies,including using software called Greyball to evade regulators, a court battle over allegedly stolen secrets from Google's self-driving car pision, and a slew of complaints regarding sexual harassment and toxic company culture.

这两个都是最近的热词，来源于美国近几月发起的反性侵运动The #MeToo movement.这个运动已扩散至全球范围，其影响还在发酵。

最后再放几张Uber自家的广告，和民众对Uber的抗议：
