Cybersecurity Incident On February 3, 2025, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that disrupted certain information technology systems and resulted in unauthorized access to certain files (the "Cyber Incident"). We promptly activated our incident response plan, engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to investigate and assist with remediation, notified law enforcement, and offered identity-protection services to affected customers and subscribers.
