the DOJ’s first successful cyber investigations. While with the DOJ, Chris investigated and charged the first insider trading case based upon hacked information. Chris also investigated and charged the largest data breach in history: the hacks of Yahoo by Russian intelligence operatives, which resulted in the loss of more than a billion customers’ personally identifiable information to a foreign intelligence organization.
