Uber Security Chief Found Guilty

Former Uber ($UBER@US) security chief Joe Sullivan was found guilty by a federal jury on Wednesday on charges that he did not disclose a breach of customer and driver records to government regulators. In 2016 the Federal Trade Commission was investigating Uber over a breach of its online systems, and when Sullivan learned of a new breach that affected the accounts of more than 57 million riders and drivers, he failed to inform investigators. Federal prosecutors argued that Sullivan hid the recent hack from F.T.C. investigators so as not to extend their investigation or harm his reputation.
