Investor Group Wants Independent Probe of Cyber Breach at SEC

A global investor group called for an independent investigation into a cyber breach at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and urged the regulator to delay new data-gathering rules until it could assure investors that its computer systems were secure. Wall Street’s top regulator came under fire after admitting hackers had breached its database of corporate announcements in 2016 and might have used it for insider trading.
