There exist certain classes of prime numbers that should not be used for some cryptographic operations because algorithms exist that reduce the computation required for factoring attacks. This more often applies to cases where smaller primes are applied. Sources for this king of knowledge are mathematics or cryptography textbooks.

For other cryptographic operations, almost any sufficiently large prime can be used. Even a 50% reduction on a computation that will take trillions of years, has no practical impact.

Lyft likely cost customers' funds though a poor process like this in the past.

One could create an account, hail rides and add their own payment method while still being associated with someone else's email. Ride recipes would then be sent to someone else's email where the receiving party could add or increase a tip through an unauthenticated link and have it charged to the riders credit card.
