Ubiquiti Inc. (NYSE: UI) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on whether Ubiquiti accurately reported the nature and scope of a recent security breach incident.
On Jan. 11, 2021, Ubiquiti urged customers to change their passwords and enable multi-factor authentication after it became aware of unauthorized access to certain of its information technology systems hosted by a third-party cloud provider. The company, however, downplayed the seriousness of the incident, advising its customers that it was not currently aware of evidence of access to databases that host user data.
But on March 30, 2021, KrebsonSecurity published an article entitled, "Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach 'Catastrophic,'" reporting that a Ubiquiti security professional who helped the company respond to the two-month breach beginning in December 2020 informed Krebs that the breach was catastrophically worse than reported. Krebs quoted the source as saying "[t]he breach was massive, customer data was at risk, access to customers' devices deployed in corporations and homes around the world was at risk." The source also reportedly said the Jan. 11, 2021 breach disclosure was "downplayed and purposefully written to imply that a 3rd party cloud vendor was at risk and that Ubiquiti was merely a casualty of that, instead of the target of the attack." In reality, according to Krebs' reporting, the attackers gained administrative access to Ubiquiti's servers.
In response, the price of Ubiquiti shares fell over 16% during intraday trading on March 31, 2021.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Ubiquiti intentionally misrepresented the security of a core business," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
