Snow is developing in unusually far southern areas of the U.S. on Thursday night, from just north of New Orleans to Atlanta and into Raleigh, North Carolina. Some areas could see more than 1 inch of snow. A winter weather advisory has been issued for the Deep South.

ABC

Also, heavy lake effect snow is possible from Michigan to New York. Numerous winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories and lake effect snow warnings have been issued for the region.

Some areas in western New York just south of Buffalo could see up to 20 inches of snow over the next 24 hours.

Santa Ana wind trouble

December is known to be the most common month for Santa Ana winds in southern California, but fires of the magnitude currently being seen are not that common in December.

The prime time for wildfires in California is June through October.

Winds continue to pick up Thursday morning, and are forecast to gust 30 to 50 mph along the coast and near 80 mph in the mountains.

Red flag warnings continue through Saturday for Southern California and high wind warnings continue through Friday.

ABC

Wind gusts today in the mountains could be 80 to 90 mph.

Gusty winds continue even into Saturday, with gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph along the coast and nearly 60 mph inland.

An incident that happend about a month ago when a man killed his neighbor for mistakening her for a deer has been found not guilty. He was charged for second degree manslaughter and hunting after illegal hours. He has another court hearing in January.

"Tragic" is how the attorney for a New York hunter is describing a shooting late last month in which, authorities said, the hunter killed his neighbor after mistaking her for a deer.

Last week Thomas Jadlowsi, 34, was arraigned on charges of second-degree manslaughter and hunting after legal hours in the death of 43-year-old Rosemary Billquist. He pleaded not guilty and has apparently been released from custody after posting bail. He is scheduled to return to court in January.

In a statement to PEOPLE on behalf of Jadlowski, his attorney said, "I want to extend our condolences to [Billquist's husband], and his family and friends. This is a tragic situation."

"Mrs. Billquist was a shining star in our community, and she will clearly be greatly missed. This tragic event will certainly alter the lives of her family and friends, as it will for my client and his family," said lawyer Michael Robert Cerrie.

"At this time, we will not be answering any further questions, until we have a chance to review the discovery material that will be provided by the Chautauqua District Attorneys' Office," he said.

On Nov. 22, around 5:20 p.m., Billquist was shot once in the hip by Jadlowski from some 200 yards away as she was out walking her dogs in a field near her home in Sherman, New York, according to officials with the Chautauqua County, New York, Sheriff's Office and the state's Department of Environmental Conservation.

Jadlowski reportedly lived about a quarter-mile from Billquist. It is illegal to hunt after sunset in New York.

Jadlowski, 34, remained on the scene after hitting Billquist and he explained his role in the shooting to authorities, the sheriff's office said.

Immediately after firing on what he believed to be a deer, Jadlowski said, he heard a scream and raced to Billquist and called 911 while applying pressure to her wound.

Billquist died from her injuries while in the hospital.

Jadlowski surrendered into police custody and was arraigned in Chautauqua County on Thursday, the state DEC said. (The sheriff's office was not immediately available to comment; the district attorney did not return a call on Friday.)

"I feel confident that justice will be served," Billquist's husband, Jamie Billquist, told The Buffalo Newsafter Jadlowski was charged.

"Like the rest of Chautauqua County, Sherman has many responsible hunters, and having grown up in Sherman myself, I know many families where hunting is a family affair," Chautauqua County District Attorney Patrick E. Swanson said in announcing the charges.

"Responsible hunting is paramount to the safety of anyone enjoying the outdoors," Swanson said, in part. "This incident is a tragic reminder of the importance that hunting laws be followed. This incident was completely avoidable."

Billquist's family did not immediately return PEOPLE's calls for comment.

At Rosemary's funeral, friends reportedly remembered her for her laugh, her hair, her love of animals and her selflessness.

"She was always out to help somebody. She never wanted credit and was always quiet about it," her husband told the News soon after her death. "She's just an angel. An angel for sure."

Wildfires driven by Santa Ana winds continue to ravage Southern California Wednesday evening, as firefighters anticipate conditions worsening through the night.

The Skirball Fire - named after the Skirball Cultural Center in northern Los Angeles - burned 475 acres in the Sepulveda Pass near the Getty Center, The Los Angeles Times reported.

The museum closed Wednesday while the fire was held back. The fire was five percent contained as of Wednesday afternoon.

To the north, in Sylmar, California, the 'Creek fire' has spread 12,605 acres and forced 150,000 people to evacuate their homes. Forecasters predict some areas to have 80 mph winds. It is only 5 percent contained, The Times reported. A total of 180 structures were destroyed.

Mayor Eric Garcetti has responded by declaring a local state of emergency.

"Both Emergency Declarations direct relevant City departments to take all necessary steps to protect life and property in the area affected by the fires," Garcetti's office said in a statement. "(These) declarations also request that state and federal assistance be provided to the City quickly. "

The eruption of the Skirball Fire prompted mandatory evacuation orders and the closure of the 405 freeway - one of the busiest in the nation - for part of Tuesday afternoon. The freeway reopened on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Unified School District announced that at least 265 schools in the San Fernando Valley will be closed through the weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, the wildfires are expected to exacerbate overnight, as winds reach speeds of 65 MPH.

Hundreds of engines are coming from fire departments in other states, LA County Fire Department Chief Daryl Osby said.

CalFire officials anticipate the fire to continue to grow in the coming days due to strong winds. Red Flag warnings will remains in effect until Saturday night.

Mcdonalds fired a 19 year old who has autism for his shaky hands

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Saturday, Angelica Selena Martinez, a 21-year-old from Miami, claimed that a local McDonald's branch fired her 19-year-old brother, Alex, who has autism, for his "shaky" hands.

"My brother was fired from McDonald's [solely] based off discrimination," Angelica wrote on Twitter, which has since gotten more than 79,000 retweets.

Alex says that the fast food chain was aware of his condition before he was hired and that this was his first job.

"[The hiring manager] told me to come back Tuesday to start training," Alex tells BuzzFeed News. "On the fourth day, they sent me home early and said, 'Don't worry you're not fired.' "

But the day before he was supposed to return to work, Alex's grandma told him that he was let go. (The branch reached out to her, rather than to Alex directly.) Alex's social worker tried to meet with a McDonald's supervisor, but they were unavailable and would not answer phone calls.

"I did nothing wrong - I was always careful while handling change, my registers always had the right money," Alex says. "I don't like that they didn't tell me personally. I feel like they weren't treating me like a normal human being and made me feel like I was inadequate and worthless. I still haven't gotten paid for the time I worked and they still haven't told me when I will get paid. I just don't understand."

Angelica's tweet has drawn support for Alex on social media.

Meanwhile, the owner of the McDonald's branch, Anthony Greenwood Sr., wrote in a statement to BuzzFeed: "I am working with my restaurant team to fully understand the situation. At my restaurant we have a long standing history of creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace. I am committed to providing training and development opportunities for all and value the contributions of all members of my crew."

Philadelphia is one step away from banning bulletproof glass in all of it's small businesses. Rich Kim, an owner of a deli that sells beer says that if the glass comes down then the crime rate will rise. The plexi-glass went up after a shooting and he says it saved his mother-in-law from a knife attack. councilwomen Cindy Bass says restaurants and deli's that act more like bars selling beer over the counter and shots of liquor will attract crowds that can become a public nuisance she also says bulletproof glass is a concern of the city's health and that if choking hazard or an allergic reaction occurs the glass shouldn't be a barrier.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Philadelphia is one step closer to getting rid of bulletproof glass in many of its small businesses as part of a larger effort to crack down on loitering, public urination and potential drug sales -- but it's triggered backlash from the shopkeepers.

The city's Public Health and Human Services Committee passed a bill that enables Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections to regulate the bullet-resistant barricades that stand between customers and cash registers in many neighborhood corner stores, according to Fox 29.

"No establishment required to obtain a Large Establishment license ... shall erect or maintain a physical barrier that requires the persons serving the food either to open a window or other aperture or to pass the food through a window or other aperture, in order to hand the food to a customer inside the establishment," the bill states. It also calls for larger establishments to have bathrooms for customers.

Many of the hundreds of deli owners feel as though they are being singled out and are among those protesting the bill, according to Fox 29.

"If the glass comes down, the crime rate will rise and there will be lots of dead bodies," Rich Kim, the owner of Broad Deli, which sells soda, meals and beer by the can, said. "The most important thing is safety and the public's safety."

Kim said the glass went up after a shooting and says it saved his mother-in-law from a knife attack.

Fox News previously reported that the bill, put forward by Councilwoman Cindy Bass, focuses on "stop-and-go" convenience stores that act more like bars than the restaurants they are licensed to be, selling beer and shots of liquor over the counter and attracting crowds that end up becoming public nuisances, according to lawmakers.

Pennsylvania state law mandates businesses with restaurant licenses should regularly sell food and have tables and chairs to seat 30 people. But some businesses keep their seating locked up or out of reach and the grills shut down, selling little more than alcohol and forcing customers to wander outside.

Bass told Fox News that in "more than 90 percent of cases they are breaking the law in terms of operating outside the requirement of their license."

Bass said the bulletproof glass and partitions at some of these businesses are a concern of the city's health department, as if a customer is choking or having an allergic reaction, a barrier should not stand in the way of safety.

She also addressed the security concerns. "Thousands of businesses operate in the same neighborhoods with no Plexiglass," she told Fox News, mentioning stores like Rite-Aid and barber shops. "I've never been to a bar with Plexiglass."

Kim objected to the claims that the bill stemmed from nuisance complaints city officials got from constituents, and said that calls to police often were met with slow responses.

The chairman of the Asian American Licensed Beverage Association of Philadelphia, which represents 217 'beer delis' in the city, also said most of the businesses being targeted "are in not-as-safe neighborhoods."

A full council vote is slated for Thursday, December 14, according to Fox 29.

A 2014 test provided evidence that the U.S.' F-35 fighter jet could prove to be a viable weapon against the threat of a North Korean-launched ballistic missile, reports said.

The high-tech F-35's sensors could help other missile-defense equipment track and destroy an intercontinental ballistic missile launched by North Korea.

John "Bama" Montgomery, a business development manager at Northrop's targeting division, told Defense One that information gathered by the F-35s could be transmitted to a THAAD anti-ballistic missile system.

"The shooter now has information to go and put his information in the right place," Montgomery said. "Thus, the radar doesn't have to search. It goes, 'I know where it is; it's right there.'"

The assessment pointed to an Inside Defense report that cited Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who said the joint strike fighter could down an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in its boost phase.

The Defense One report said the U.S. does not have a foolproof way to down an ICBM. The report said the best chances the U.S. has in intercepting a missile is when it is on, or leaving the launch pad.

Northrop reportedly conducted a test in 2014 to determine if the F-35's Distributed Aperture System could accurately track an ICBM. The test determined that the sensors could help missile-defense systems destroy the target.

The news was reportedly wasn't released until Tuesday because it took several years to determine. The modeling and simulation numbers are classified, but Montgomery told Defense One that, "I can tell you right now that this system, as depicted here, really does help the ballistic missile environment."

Last week, North Korea launched a Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile that demonstrated a greater range than other missiles North Korea has tested. One expert estimated its range at more than 8,100 miles if launched on a standard trajectory, which would put Washington, D.C., within reach.

The details of the test remain unclear, with a U.S. official saying the missile did not manage to make a re-entry into Earth's atmosphere - the key problem for North Korea's nuclear program.

Video of the daring rescue shows a Ventura County highway engulfed in smoke and flames. An orange and black singed sky fills the screen.

But then, a wild rabbit darts across traffic and into the burning brush.

A man, stopped on the road and wearing just shorts and a hoodie, races after him. The rabbit is both out of reach and in danger.

That's when the panic sets in. The man clutches his head, jumps up and down, and paces anxiously, agonizingly trying to figure out how to rescue the creature from its burning habitat.

In a last-ditch effort, he wades into the brush to coax the rabbit out from the fire.

After some pleading, the rabbit runs out of the flames and, after a few stumbles, into the man's arms.

The moment was a welcome relief from the damage and destruction the fires have caused.

One twitter user said the video would serve to restore faith in humanity.

Another called him a hero.

We don't know who this man is, but it doesn't matter. Whoever he is, he has been added to the ranks of heroes who have risen from tragedy with their small acts of compassion.

Hunter forced to defend he lifestyle after receiving death threats. Nikki Tate is a lawyer that started hunting at 10 years old at her uncle's ranch in southern Texas." It was then when I shot a bow for the first time. I loved the challenge, and given my athletic history and competitive personality, I instantly became addicted" said Tate. Her addiction started with deer and moved to waterfowl. "We eat everything we kill, unless we are hunting predators, if we can't eat everything then we donate it to organizations that are aimed at feeding the homeless" responding to all of the death threats on her social media.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A woman in Texas has built a following on social media for her hunting prowess -- but it hasn't always been positive.

Nikki Tate, a lawyer in Dallas, has amassed over 11,000 followers on her Instagram with pictures of herself and her hunting dogs posing with carcasses of deer, hogs and waterfowl.

The 27-year-old attorney started hunting "about 10 years ago" at her uncle's ranch in South Texas, The Daily Mail reports.

"It was then when I shot a bow for the first time. I loved the challenge, and given my athletic history and competitive personality, I instantly became addicted," she said, The Daily Mail reported.

Her addiction started with bucks and then moved on to waterfowl.
MOOSE HUNTER SLAMS FACEBOOK CRITICS WHO CALLED HER 'DISGUSTING'
"Ever since that moment, I have been hooked. I've hunted several animals, but my favorite by far is waterfowl," Tate said.

"I was always told to stay away from waterfowl hunting or else I would never go back to hunting anything else. Well, they were right," she added.

Tate uses her social media presence to show her kills, as well as share tricks of the trade and endorse products that she uses on her own hunts - and, perhaps most importantly, explain the reasons behind her hunting lifestyle, which some have taken issue with as being controversial.

"We eat everything we kill, unless we are hunting predators," Tate said. "My husband and I skin everything ourselves, and if we can't eat everything, we donate it to organizations that are aimed at feeding the homeless."

"We pride ourselves in only taking ethical shots, and work hard to make sure that it happens," she added.
DOG SHOOTS HUNTER AFTER ANOTHER HUNTER LEAVES SHOTGUN ON GROUND
Tate has a revolving arsenal for her different hunts. She uses a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun for duck and dove hunting, a Ruger.270 rifle for deer, and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle for predator hunting.

Tate says she spends "almost every weekend waterfowl hunting," but does try to "get a few deer hunts in a year to help fill the freezer," naming a 170-pound buck as her largest kill. That particular deer fed her family for nearly six months, she said.

Aside from meat, Tate says she hunts for conservation concerns and predator control.

"Hunting helps maintain animal populations at levels that are compatible with human life/activity. For example, hogs are insanely overpopulated and can cause serious damage to agricultural products, fields, and other vegetation, which can harm livestock. We also hunt coyotes and bobcats for purposes of predator control," she shared.

Tate has received a lot of support from the hunting community both on and offline, but she still has had her detractors. Some of those morally opposed to hunting have issued death threats Tate via social media. But, Tate continues doing what she loves and trying to teach respect.

"I pride myself in respecting others for their beliefs and practices, regardless of whether I agree with them," she said.

"I hunt for food, conservation, friendship, and so much more, all of which are very important to me. If I can respect others' beliefs, values, and reasons (even those that involve human life and death), please respect mine."

Tate plans to continue moving forward by sharing her hunting stories and "shedding a positive light" on the reasons behind them.

"I am who I am and I am not going to change that," she said.

In Pennsylvania a lawmaker is under fire after insinuating that a fellow rep is gay because he touched his arm.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The incident, captured on a video feed, took place during a state government committee meeting in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Tuesday night. Republican state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe was chairing a meeting about land use legislation when state Rep. Matthew Bradford, a Democrat who was speaking at the time, touched his arm.

"Look, I'm a heterosexual," Metcalfe said. "I have a wife, I love my wife. I don't like men, as you might. ... Stop touching me all the time," he said.

"It's like, keep your hands to yourself. Like if you want to touch somebody, you have people on your side of the aisle that might like it. I don't," Metcalfe told Bradford during the meeting.

Bradford began chucking and turned red. A fellow representative can be seen hiding her face with her hand and shaking her head in disbelief.

"OK, we're officially off the rails," Bradford said amid nervous chuckles throughout the meeting room. He said his intent with the arm touch was to "beg for your permission for about 30 seconds."

Metcalfe replied: "Then beg, don't touch."

He came under immediate criticism for the comments, and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party has called on Metcalfe, who has served in the statehouse since 1999, to resign from office.

CNN has reached out to both Metcalfe and Bradford's offices. Asked Wednesday if it was inappropriate to respond as he did, Metcalfe told CBSPhilly, "the homosexual crowd thinks that they can, you know, flaunt their sexuality routinely throughout the course of the day and throughout our government now and debate after debate."

In an interview with TribLive following the incident, Metcalfe said Bradford has repeatedly been asked to stop unwanted touching, and that the public shaming was meant to get the representative's attention.

Bradford, who is married to a woman and has four children, also told TribLive that Metcalfe's interruption was "awkward" and "really inappropriate," adding that "I speak with my hands. I've tried to calm him down."

Metcalfe has reportedly been a longtime opponent of same-sex marriage and homosexuality. In 2015, he called the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage "judicial tyranny."

"It shows what tyrants they are when they think that they can place themselves above God's law, above natural law, and above the will of the American people as we've seen it expressed in state after state after state," he told PennLive at the time.

The driver of a London bus who witnessed a jogger shove a woman in front of his bus last May is speaking out about the incident.

"Maybe he had a bad day, and the first lady he saw in his way just decided to push her?" Oliver Salbis told Sky News, referring to the jogger.

He said he didn't realize how close the woman was to his bus until after watching surveillance video. A man can be seen jogging on Putney Bridge on May 5 in London and then suddenly pushing a woman into the bus lane.

Salbis said he stopped the bus to see if the woman was hurt. Although she was in shock and crying, he said he was relieved to see that she could move.

"I thought everything for her was OK, so I just went to the garage and reported the incident to my managers," Salbis said.

He has not spoken to the victim but hopes the individual who pushed her is held accountable.

Police still not have found the jogger. Two men were arrested in August but later released without further action, according to police. Police have not named the victim.

He said he wanted to lead like Frank Mason and take on the starring role for the Big 12 king.

But can Devonte' Graham handle this?

In September, Graham sat at a table near Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, and munched on his post-practice box lunch.

He seemed comfortable with his new position as the catalyst for a Kansas team that had just lost Mason, the Wooden Award winner. Those around campus said Graham struggled to make his way to his summer classes because fans would swarm him for selfies and autographs.

He returned for this. Not just the hoopla, but the opportunity. He'd wrestled with the idea of leaving school and turning pro after last season, but his new assignment was too promising to forego -- a responsibility he fumbled on Wednesday in a stunning 74-65 loss to Washington in Kansas City.

"Just having the ball in my hands, this being my team was definitely part of why I stayed," he told ESPN.com in September.

With the ball in his hands, Graham could not save No. 2 Kansas against Washington -- ranked 140 th by KenPom.com entering the game -- on a "neutral" floor.

With the ball in his hands, Graham finished 1-for-8 overall and 1-for-5 from the 3-point line at a Sprint Center, KU's second home, filled with Jayhawks fans.

Last year, Washington lost 22 games before firing Lorenzo Romar and his entire staff. And then Markelle Fultz left school and entered last summer's NBA draft, when he was selected No. 1 by the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Huskies, led by former Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins, entered this season as an afterthought in the Pac-12, a league that's become an afterthought.

They were a bad team last season and lost the top pick in the NBA draft along with Michael Porter Jr. and the top-10 recruiting class Romar had assembled prior to his dismissal. But now they boast a win over a team that's projected to win the Big 12.

Graham alone is not responsible for what happened against Washington. Svi Mykhailiuk finished 3-for-12. The team committed 13 turnovers and only made 25 percent of its 3-point attempts.

But Graham is the leader.

Last season, Mason bailed Kansas out in situations like the one the Jayhawks encountered on Wednesday, when they tussled with an average team.

This is a squad missing Billy Preston, a five-star freshmen sidelined by a school investigation, and Arizona State transfer Sam Cunliffe. But did the Jayhawks really need either against a Huskies team that Virginia Tech beat by 24 points last month?

No, they needed Graham to do what he said he'd do the day he returned. They'll rely on his heroics throughout Big 12 play, just as they depended on Mason a year ago.

They'll suffer on his bad nights, like his three-point night Wednesday against the Huskies.

Graham has scored 35 points twice this season and collected fewer than 10 points in two separate outings, too. He's now finished three games this season with a clip below 30 percent from the field and five contests under 40 percent. He finished 3-for-14 in a Champions Classic win over Kentucky this season.

And there was the 0-for-7 effort in the Elite Eight loss to Oregon last season, along with 2-for-10 outing in a loss to TCU in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals. He'd finished 4-for-12 as KU squeezed past Oklahoma State in a 90-85 road win in its regular-season finale.

Overall, Graham has had a more significant effect on Kansas this season. Entering Wednesday's game, Kansas averaged a wild 1.29 points per possession and held opponents to 0.78 PPP with Graham on the floor, per hooplens.com.

He's averaging 18.6 points per game while connecting on 92 percent of his free throw attempts and 41 percent of his 3-pointers. But a tougher stretch is ahead.

Kansas will face undefeated Arizona State on Sunday and travel to Nebraska -- where Minnesota lost over the weekend -- on Dec. 16. The Jayhawks will begin Big 12 play with games against Texas, Texas Tech and TCU.

To navigate the upcoming slate, Graham has to be the man for Kansas.

The Jayhawks needed him on Wednesday against a Washington squad that won just nine games a year ago. He didn't show up.

Sure, Kansas will rebound. The Jayhawks have Allen Fieldhouse, their greatest asset in extending their Big 12 title streak. They have Graham and a deep collection of talent that could add multiple contributors in the coming weeks. They're stacked.

But this is about more than the Big 12 title streak. Can Kansas return to the Final Four and exit San Antonio with a title? Not unless they can rely on Graham each night.

Think this is harsh? Graham told ESPN.com he'd give himself a B-minus for last season's effort, despite averaging 13.4 ppg and connecting on 39 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.

He understands the pressure and expectations attached to his return.

"I just feel like maybe there were some plays I could have been more aggressive," he said about his effort last season, "or overall more aggressive as a whole."

He came back to lead, to have the ball in his hands.

He does now. It just weighs far more than it did last season.

Wind chills are dipping into the single digits in the Midwest and the 20s and 30s in the East.

ABC

Snow is developing in unusually far southern areas of the U.S. on Thursday night, from just north of New Orleans to Atlanta and into Raleigh, North Carolina. Some areas could see more than 1 inch of snow. A winter weather advisory has been issued for the Deep South.

ABC

Also, heavy lake effect snow is possible from Michigan to New York. Numerous winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories and lake effect snow warnings have been issued for the region.

Some areas in western New York just south of Buffalo could see up to 20 inches of snow over the next 24 hours.

Santa Ana wind trouble

December is known to be the most common month for Santa Ana winds in southern California, but fires of the magnitude currently being seen are not that common in December.

The prime time for wildfires in California is June through October.

Winds continue to pick up Thursday morning, and are forecast to gust 30 to 50 mph along the coast and near 80 mph in the mountains.

Red flag warnings continue through Saturday for Southern California and high wind warnings continue through Friday.

ABC

Wind gusts today in the mountains could be 80 to 90 mph.

Gusty winds continue even into Saturday, with gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph along the coast and nearly 60 mph inland.

Uber, the ride-hailing smartphone app, paid a Florida hacker $100,000 to destroy data in the company's 2016 hack that resulted in the breach of 57 million users, Reuters reported.

The hacker was described as a 20-year-old man in the report. The rideshare company did not disclose any more information.

Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber's CEO, announced the breach last month and terminated two top security officials. He said the incident should have been disclosed to regulators at the time it was discovered last year, Reuters reported.

Sources told Reuters that then-CEO Travis Kalanick was aware of the breach and "bug bounty" payment in November of last year. Uber's "bug bounty" service, a program known in the industry, is hosted by HackerOne, a company that offers its platform to several tech companies, the report said.

Katie Moussouris, a former HackerOne executive, told Reuters that Uber's payout and silence at the time was extraordinary under such a program.

"If it had been a legitimate bug bounty, it would have been ideal for everyone involved to shout it from the rooftops," Moussouris said.

Five states and multiple countries are investigating the matter, The Hill reported.

Uber spokesman Matt Kallman declined to comment to Reuters.
