Ex-Uber CSO gets probation for covering up theft of data on millions of people
Joe Sullivan won't serve any serious time behind bars for his role in covering up Uber's 2016 computer security breach and trying to pass off a ransom payment as a bug bounty.
A San Francisco judge on Thursday sentenced the app maker's now-former chief security officer to three years of probation plus 200 hours of community service, despite prosecutors' pleas to throw Sullivan in the cooler. Late last month federal officials urged the judge to sentence Sullivan to 15 months in prison for covering up the theft of data from Uber's IT systems and lying to watchdogs about the intrusion.
"Corporate leaders are called upon to do the right thing even when it is embarrassing, even when it is bad for the company's bottom line," they said [Sullivan, who previously worked as a cybercrime prosecutor for the US Department of Justice, submitted a letter [ ] to the judge in which he said he"deeply regrets" his actions in 2016 and urged leniency, to"give me a chance to use what has happened here to give back to my community."
