Sullivan was charged in August 2020 and found guilty by a jury in October 2022. Before the sentencing, prosecutors were hoping for 15 months in prison, while the defense wanted probation, which was the ultimate outcome, allowing the former chief security officer (CSO) to avoid prison time. In addition to probation, Sullivan must perform 200 hours of community service as part of the sentencing.
Sullivan, who worked at Uber between April 2015 and November 2017, was accused of obstructing an FTC investigation into a data breach suffered by the company in 2014. While that older incident was being investigated, Sullivan learned of another, larger breach, but decided not to disclose it.
