A former IBM cybersecurity executive has filed a lawsuit alleging that IBM and two of its subsidiaries suffered data breaches in the mid-2010s which the company failed to disclose to the public. The whistleblower claims IBM actively covered up these security incidents, potentially putting customer data at risk and violating disclosure regulations.
Background
Data breach disclosure laws require companies to inform affected individuals and authorities when sensitive personal information is compromised. IBM is one of the world's largest technology and consulting companies with significant government and enterprise contracts.
