> “If Mr. Sullivan had immediately reported the breach—instead of misleading the government by withholding information—the FBI could have been better able to assist Uber; also, the data breach of at least one additional large tech company may have been prevented,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Fair.
Are there any hints about the other “large tech company” hit by the same hackers? To be transparent to the authorities is not always easy, but in this case, it could have prevented another attack :/
