DOJ Charges Uber's Former Security Chief for Trying to Conceal Hack

The Justice Department (DOJ) has filed charges against Uber’s former security chief for allegedly attempting to conceal a 2016 hack that exposed the email addresses and phone numbers of 57 million drivers and passengers. Prosecutors accuse Joseph Sullivan, who was Uber’s chief security officer from April 2015-November 2017, of not disclosing the 2016 hacking incident to federal investigators who were looking into another data breach that had occurred two years earlier.
