Former Uber Chief Security Officer Joseph Sullivan has been charged with obstruction of justice and concealment of a felony for his role in the attempted coverup of a 2016 hack that exposed the data of 57 million Uber customers and drivers, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.

The criminal complaint alleges that Sullivan deliberately attempted to “conceal, deflect and mislead” the Federal Trade Commission about the hack, which contained names, email addresses and phone numbers for customers around the world as well as drivers’ license numbers for around 600,000 drivers.
