Cybersecurity: SolarWinds May Face SEC Investigation Over Hack Disclosure
Following the massive SolarWinds incident in January 2021, the company has agreed to pay $26 million to settle a shareholder lawsuit.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleges it violated U.S. securities law “with respect to its cybersecurity disclosures and public statements, as well as its internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.” The software company provided the details of the settlement on Nov. 3 and also warned it has received notice from the SEC that the regulator has made a preliminary decision to file an enforcement action against the company over the cyber breach.
SolarWinds did not recognize any faults on its side and in the shareholder lawsuit, it is alleged that the company deceived them about its weak security practices at the time of the attack. According to an 8-K filing with the SEC, the amount will be paid by the company’s insurers who authorized and approved the sum.
