In addition, Becerra said, “Companies in California and throughout the nation are entrusted with customers’ valuable private information. This settlement broadcasts to all of them that we will hold them accountable to protect their data.”
On the other hand, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, commented, “This record settlement should send a clear message: we have zero tolerance for those who skirt the law and leave consumer and employee information vulnerable to exploitation. We’ll continue to fight to protect New Yorkers from weak data security and criminal hacker.”
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, reiterated that Uber violated the state’s law and condemned its misconduct. He said, “Today’s settlement holds them accountable and requires real changes in their corporate behavior.”
California will receive $26 million share of the settlement. The money will be divided between the state attorney general’s office and the San Francisco district attorney’s office.
New York will receive approximately $5.1 million share while Pennsylvania will get $5.7 million share of the settlement.
