What Is It?

Cybersecurity fraud involves the illegal access or manipulation of sensitive data, often for financial gain or to disrupt operations. Illegal NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) are used to silence whistleblowers or prevent the reporting of unlawful practices.

Organizations Involved

Companies in tech, finance, and healthcare may commit such fraud. For instance, a company might breach user data security or coerce employees into signing unlawful NDAs that prevent them from reporting illegal activities.

Reportable Activities

Key violations include:

• Unauthorized data breaches
• Misuse of personal or sensitive data
• Forcing employees to sign illegal NDAs
• Blocking whistleblower rights to expose fraud

Reporting such fraud not only helps maintain market integrity and investor trust, but also helps uphold employees' rights and prevents misleading corporate practices. To report SEC violations effectively under SEC whistleblower laws and programs, it’s important to consult an experienced whistleblower law firm. A whistleblower law firm can help you navigate the legal complexities, ensure confidentiality, safeguard your whistleblower rights and, last but not least, preserve your confidentiality. Professional whistleblower attorneys also offer crucial advice on how to maximize potential rewards under the SEC Whistleblower Program and help protect you from retaliation. Professional support ensures that your claim is presented accurately and in compliance with regulations.
