Do security breaches matter? The shareholder puzzle
研究了2005至2017年间计算机安全漏洞对上市公司股票的影响,发现公告前平均异常收益为负(信息可能泄露),公告后为正且常能弥补前期下跌,对分析师、投资组合经理和监管者有启示。
Abstract This article analyzes the effect of computer breaches on publicly traded equities from 2005 to 2017. An event study is performed and breaches analyzed conditioned on whether the breach announcement has been made in the mainstream media or through other channels. We find that in the period prior to the announcement date in the media, the mean abnormal return is negative, reflecting a likely leakage of information. In the period following the announcement date, the mean abnormal return is positive, often more than offsetting the previous declines. The findings have important implications for analysts, portfolio managers, institutional investors, and regulators.
