I am assuming this is the same Joe Sullivan, the former CSO at Uber who was fired for failing to disclose the 2016 data breach to regulatory officials or notifying the 600K drivers and 57 million customers that were affected? [1][2][3]
And keeping it secret for more than a year? I am not sure that association instills confidence.

- Operyl 8y agoFrom what I understood, it wasn’t his choice to keep it secret was it? I mean they lobotomized his team and everything it felt like.
- bogomipz 8y agoThen he should have blown the whistle no? I mean his title was CSO. Wasn't there a moral imperative there to notify millions of users who were affected? I don't think its a stretch to say by participating in a cover up you are complicit even if the original decision wasn't yours.
