Following the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, multiple major health insurance companies have taken their executive leadership pages offline.
Proving they know they’re a terrible industry with terrible people - and they’re okay with that so long as they don’t actually have to face any consequences for it.
Security through obscurity never worked, and never will work. Someone who could plan an attack like the recent one can figure out leadership hierarchy from a lot other sources. Aren’t these publicly traded companies?
He was going to the shareholder conference. I guess the attendees knew he was the ceo not from a random landing page.
FYI: if the insurance company is publicly traded, CEO information is available through their prospectus. Call their investor line and ask for one.
By law, they must have this information public.
For Minecraft. Obviously.
You don’t even have to ask the company! Companies have to file a form called a 10-k every year, which is publicly available through the SEC’s website. 10-k’s list their governance and leadership.
It’d be really wild if they took their LinkedIn pages down next

We could only be so lucky that this starts a revolution. We’ll go right back to the same old same old soon enough.
While I’m never a fan of violence I do appreciate the sense of unity this has had for the working class.
The subsequent reactions by CEOs, Politicians, Insurance companies, social networks and News Outlets should serve as proof that we’re not only stronger than them but also that they’re scared shitless of the thought of us being organized around a common cause. I want more of that.
A point that may be overlooked when you consider how pointless this action seems to be to someone like the original shooter: They have opened the door to public awareness that this group is a viable target for a broad swathe of people who may be looking for a similar opportunity.
If this action does trigger copycat actions, it’s very likely they will be less refined. The one who tried to take out Trump seemed to be just as willing to target Biden. For someone who is just doing a surface level search, obfuscation can be effective. That isn’t an option for public figures, but may be an option for insurance executives.
For the assertion you can just get their info from documents from a publicly traded company, in addition to the above, the people writing the rules are being paid by the people who are potentially being targeted.
You mean the freely available elsewhere list of C-suite executives at publicly traded companies will no longer be available on their website?
