One interesting piece of this: it looks like Github turned over IP traffic logs for who accessed that page of Uber's Github repo to Uber.

this is the only reason here for this "news" "article". besides this, that is pure libel, with no source or fact checking from the " journalist". and that is just mentioned in passing. the "journalist" doesn't even notice that is the only real interesting bit, and obviously does not expand or investigate on it. I'd love to hear what github has to say on this. just flag this garbage.

There's nothing libelous in that article. The author is reporting on the matter and doesn't claim that Lyft or any specific individual is guilty of anything.

If I post my password on the Internet and someone uses it to get into my account, is that still considered hacking? And illegal? [serious question] I guess if I lost my wallet and someone finds it and uses my debit card, I'd consider that stealing.

If you lost your house key and someone came into your house and looked around, that'd be trespassing.

except on the title. and the lide. and the eye.

the fact that they have no fact is burried, while the sensationalist accusation is highlighted.
