> covered up a massive data breach or something similar to that

Honest question: do execs or companies in general ever suffer consequences for data breaches? Seems like basically no one cares about this stuff.



Really different between private and public companies. Recent hilarious piece from Matt Levine that was discussed on HN: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-11-16/hacker...


I think it depends on whose data was revealed, and the nature of the data.


Clorox just fired their CISO last week for a data breach


A CISO's role is to get fired after a data breach


No, their role is to prevent a data breach from happening in the first place.


Isn't that what ciso roles are for? They aren't real c-suite roles are they?


Chief Information Scapegoat Officer


Most executives are covered by Errors and Omissions insurance which protects them from personal liability.
