Hackers May Have Profited From SEC Corporate Filing System Attack – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on September 21, 2017, 7:37 am

The vulnerability of governments and businesses to cyberattacks was exposed again Wednesday when a top U.S. financial regulator said hackers had breached its electronic database of market-moving corporate announcements, and may have profited from the information they stole.

The hack of an aspect of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar filing system occurred in 2016, the regulator said in a statement. But it wasn’t until last month that the agency concluded the cybercriminals involved may have used their bounty to make illicit trades.
