SEC Asks Companies to Disclose Cyber Attacks

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally asked public companies to disclose cyber attacks against them, Reuters reported Friday. Regulators issued guidelines Thursday about what information should be disclosed. Senator John Rockefeller had asked the SEC to issue guidelines amid concern that it was becoming hard for investors to assess security risks if companies failed to mention data breaches in their public filings, Reuters wrote.
