Ex-Uber CISO Requests a New, ‘Fair’ Trial

Posted on October 9, 2024 by Dissent

Kristina Beek reports:

Former Uber CISO Joseph Sullivan, convicted in 2023 of trying to cover up a data breach, is seeking a new trial, citing procedures omissions from his original trial that his lawyers said tainted the verdict.

Sullivan was initially convicted on charges related to Uber’s 2016 data breach and was sentenced to three years of probation for his role in the subsequent coverup.

Sullivan was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and perform 200 hours of community service. These penalties were considered too soft by the prosecution, which argued that a 15-month prison term would have been more beneficial in deterring other executives in similar situations.
