IP Address May Associate Lyft CTO With Uber Data Breach (reuters.com)

An anonymous reader writes: According to two unnamed Reuters sources the IP address of Lyft CTO Chris Lambert has been revealed by Uber's investigations to be associated with the accessing of a security key that was accidentally deposited on GitHub in 2014 and used to access 50,000 database records of Uber drivers later that year. However, bearing in mind that the breach was carried out through a fiercely protectionist Scandinavian VPN, and that Lambert was a Google software engineer before become CTO of a major technology company, it does seem surprising that he would have accessed such sensitive data with his own domestic IP address.

Sounds exactly like something from Mr Robot, IP address CTO of organisation found in logs related to hacking server farm.
Like, we trust the logs, after someone has Owned the system, sure let me know how that goes!
