Former Uber CSO Joe Sullivan, 52, faces a new charge of wire fraud over a 2016 hack of the ride-sharing service. Sullivan, who served as Uber’s CSO from April 2015 through November 2017, faces up to eight years in prison and a $500,000 fine. The government’s case hinges on Sullivan’s alleged failure to report a 2016 data breach to authorities, which prosecutors accuse him of having mischaracterized as a less severe security incident, together with his allegedly paying hackers “hush money” to conceal the breach.”]
