The company Uber faced government investigations after its system was hacked in 2016 and civil penalties were levied on the company as well as personnel were convicted for not promptly disclosing the incidents to the investigating agency. The obstruction of justice on the CEO follows the suite that he paid a hefty amount of $100,000 in Bitcoin to the cybercriminals forcing them to sign non-disclosure agreement that no data was stolen or stored. The offender partly debriefed the new CEO through email by editing the summary prepared by security team. He removed the details of the data that was taken and falsely informed that the payment was made after hacker’s identification. This counts for felony of failing to inform the authorities which the personnel knew happened. The CSO Joseph Sullivan was convicted of one obstruction of justice which carries five-year term. He also faces one misprision of felony with three years of imprisonment which is still under investigation. It is stated in the articles that a sensible corporate citizenship and prompt disclosure of the hack to the customer and employee victims was missing on account of the firm.
