A federal judge said Wednesday that he’s inclined to uphold a jury verdict finding former Uber security chief Joe Sullivan guilty of trying to cover up a 2016 data breach, a conviction that rocked the cybersecurity community in October.

Sullivan had only been on the job a few months when two hackers broke into Uber’s Amazon data storage server in October 2016 and swiped the personal information of 57 million app users, including names, phone numbers, email addresses and 600,000 driver’s license numbers.
