SEC says public companies must disclose cyberattacks

"For a number of years, registrants have migrated toward increasing
dependence on digital technologies to conduct their operations. As
this dependence has increased, the risks to registrants associated
with cybersecurity1 have also increased, resulting in more frequent
and severe cyber incidents. Recently, there has been increased focus
by registrants and members of the legal and accounting professions on
how these risks and their related impact on the operations of a
registrant should be described within the framework of the disclosure
obligations imposed by the federal securities laws. As a result, we
determined that it would be beneficial to provide guidance that
assists registrants in assessing what, if any, disclosures should be
provided about cybersecurity matters in light of each registrant's
specific facts and circumstances."
