Thereafter, aside from one interaction, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/threat-intelligence\/blackcat-alphv-gang-wiper-functionality-ransomware-tactic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the prolific threat actor<\/a> failed to engage the company in negotiations over the stolen data.<\/p>\n<p>ALPHV posted that data to its leak site on Wednesday. It also tried out an unprecedented extra extortion tactic, filing a report about its own crime to the SEC, claiming that its victim failed to follow<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/edge\/steps-to-follow-to-comply-with-the-sec-cybersecurity-disclosure-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> new SEC guidelines<\/a> for how soon companies have to publicly disclose their breaches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is yet another warning to security leaders, who must recognize that disclosure decisions and plans are no longer solely guided by security best practices; federal legal liabilities also play an important role,&#8221; says Patrick Tiquet, vice president of security and architecture at Keeper Security.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"regular-text\">ALPHV Playing Cop and Robber at the Same Time<\/h2>\n<p>On July 26, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/edge\/sec-adopts-new-rule-on-cybersecurity-incident-disclosure-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the SEC announced new cyber rules<\/a> for public companies. One standout was a requirement that companies disclose &#8220;any cybersecurity incident they determine to be material,&#8221; along with a description of &#8220;the material aspects of the incident&#8217;s nature, scope, and timing, as well as its material impact or reasonably likely material impact on the registrant.&#8221; Such a submission &#8220;will generally be due four business days after a registrant determines that a cybersecurity incident is material.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When four days passed with no word from MeridianLink, ALPHV submitted information about the breach through the SEC&#8217;s official website:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding MeridianLink&#8217;s compliance with the recently adopted cybersecurity incident disclosure rules,&#8221; the group wrote. &#8220;It has come to our attention that MeridianLink, in light of a significant breach compromising customer data and operational information, has failed to file the requisite disclosure under Item 1.05 of Form 8-K within the stipulated four business days, as mandated by the new SEC rules.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The source provided databreaches.net with a screenshot of the form, and the automated receipt confirming submission.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"regular-text\">Nuance in the New SEC Rule<\/h2>\n<p>Putting aside the sheer audacity of the move, ALPHV may be out of luck with the SEC for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/security\/ransomware-gang-files-sec-complaint-over-victims-undisclosed-breach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a statement provided to BleepingComputer<\/a> on Wednesday, MeridianLink stated that it wasn&#8217;t yet sure if any consumer personal information was compromised, adding that &#8220;based on our investigation to date, we have identified no evidence of unauthorized access to our production platforms, and the incident has caused minimal business interruption.&#8221; Exactly what data ALPHV stole and published may affect whether the breach is &#8220;material,&#8221; per SEC language.<\/p>\n<p>Second, as noted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/news\/press-release\/2023-139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its original press release<\/a>, the new SEC disclosure rule only takes effect on Dec. 18. (Smaller companies will have even more leeway, with an extra 180 days before they have to get on board).<\/p>\n<p>Future victims of similar attacks will have fewer breaks to count on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Using the threat of filing a &#8216;failure to report&#8217; complaint against its own victim to the SEC is a compelling tactic that could weaponize a government regulation for a cybercriminal group&#8217;s benefit,&#8221; Tiquet warns. &#8220;Disciplinary action from the SEC is not to be taken lightly and fines can be very steep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read More <a
