Capital One replaces security chief after data breach
Capital One has replaced its cybersecurity chief, four months after the company disclosed a massive data breach involving the theft of sensitive data on more than 100 millioncustomers.
Michael Johnson is moving from his role as chief information security officer to serve as senior vice president and special advisor dedicated to cyber security, said the spokesperson.
Mike Eason, who served as chief information officer for the companys commercial banking division, has replaced Johnson as interim cybersecurity chief while a permanent replacement is found.
The data leaked also includes names, addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and self-reported income, as well as credit scores, and credit limits.
Subsequent research showed that the alleged hacker and former Amazon Web Services employee, may have obtained sensitive corporate data on other companies, including Vodafone, Ford, and Ohios Department of Transportation.
