SAN FRANCISCO — Uber’s former chief security officer will serve three years of probation and pay a $50,000 fine for covering up a 2016 data breach involving 57 million users of the San Francisco-based ride-hailing service, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
A jury in October convicted 54-year-old Palo Alto resident Joseph Sullivan of obstruction of the Federal Trade Commission and misprision of a felony, or having knowledge that a federal felony was committed and taking steps to conceal that crime, prosecutors said in a statement Thursday.
