Hackers plead guilty to Uber extortion
Two men have pleaded guilty to hacking Uber and LinkedIn’s Lynda.com educational platform in 2016 and requesting that these companies pay them bug bounties.
Court documents show that the hackers used a custom-built GitHub account checker tool to test credentials that were leaked on other websites against GitHub’s user base.
