Alternate headline: "New CEO discovers scandal covered up by predecessor, launches internal investigation and announces findings to the public once the investigation is concluded"
Plus, Khosrowshahi told Softbank about the ongoing investigation 3 weeks before the rest of us - while this information was important to Softbank, it would also be important to any other potential investor, and we do not know whether any others were indeed told about it.
I know it's an unpopular opinion. But both Uber and Equifax took similar amounts of time.
Equifax leaked the social security information and credit histories of an enormous number of Americans, when their main job is to keep it safe and available.
It’s a little silly to compare the timelines. They’re just completely different.
Is handover a thing among CEO’s?
LOL. I don't think their incentives are in line with that at all. It may be what we want but then we're just lying to ourselves.
The keyword is responsible disclosure, not just disclosure.
Once they knew any something was leaked, no matter what, the responsible move is to inform everyone to give them a chance to lock down their shit. More time or knowledge of where the data is won't save anyone.
As for the "other attacker" excuse, how would that work? Just from knowing that data was leaked no new attacker can deduce the weakness used.
This sounds like something well, well beyond that. So as far as I'm concerned, the new CEO seems like nearly as much of as scofflaw as the old.
