George Stathakopoulos, formerly Vice President of Information Security and Corporate IT at Amazon, has joined Apple. He will report to Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri and will be responsible for protecting corporate assets. Apple has not announced the hire and declined to comment on the role. Stathkopoulos reportedly started his new job last week, but Apple has yet to announce the hiring of the new VP of Corporate Information Security. Apple is fighting a court order forcing Apple to create a new operating system, GovtOS, that bypasses security protections in iOS.”]
