What's the last "bombshell scandal that would ruin a company" that actually ruined a company?

Unroll.me was a service that would scan your email and clean up your inbox. The New York Times reported that the company was gathering sales receipts emails, anonymizing them, and selling them to rival companies; for example Uber paid them to hand over all the sales receipts they could on Lyft rides in people’s mailboxes. The bad press made them eventually sell the company to Slice, mainly for the email archives they amassed.

Slice like... the pizza website?

That’s what I assumed too but it appears to be a package tracking website
