Uber remotely locked PCs to thwart police raids: Report
Cab-hailing startup Uber used a tool called Ripley to remotely lock data on company-owned smartphones and laptops to thwart police raids in foreign countries, according to a report. Ripley was routinely used between 2015 and late 2016. Managers were trained to alert staff at its San Francisco headquarters, who remotely logged out of devices to obstruct investigations, the report said.
