Being vulnerable to espionage seems like one pretty obvious way.

I mean, I don't think he's gonna be making this mistake again.

Failing forward:)

He will be more carful but these attacks are almost indefensible.

Cheaters always cheat again. And again.

He's gonna fall for it again. It may just be harder for the spys to pull it off.

If he's lying to his wife who else is he lying to?

Humans always lie, there was some data showing it’s about 0.75-1.5ish per day (I don’t remember exact thresholds but you can think of it like one per day).

It might actually sustain civilized communication and behaviour, e.g a small lie to not hurt someone’s feelings.

Of course this level of deception in a marriage is worse, but it’s naive to think anyone is entirely honest.

Its not about the lie, its about the trust thats being broken. Most lies don't end your relationship.

_Technically_ it didn't end his relationship yet. But I do get your point, about the 'severity of the lie'. But honestly, this is a personal thing not a work thing. One doesn't have to carry over to the other, people _thankfully_ behave different at home than at work.

You and I have no idea what he and his wife have said to each other.

Because these are known risks for a CEO of a top 3 market cap company. Not to mention there is still to be an investigation on if it was on purpose.

This a known attack vectors that global security teams and front of house security teams go over yearly with C suite.

It means that you’re dishonest and can’t be trusted to keep big commitments. That seems to be less valued than it once was though.

That’s kinda every COE, and you generally can’t trust companies. Or maybe I’m more cynical than others lol

Yes. Unreliable by having an affair.

Not because he had an affair (who cares, really, and hardly uncommon), but because he had an affair that endangered the company, and in some respects our country.

Functionally, it's not different from "left an unlocked phone at a bar". A mistake anyone could make, but, when you're paid what he's paid, that type of mistake is the thing you're paid not to make.

If he is willing to betray his wife, who else is he willing to fuck over?
