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.
