According to sources, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) investigation into the SolarWinds Russian hacking operation has dozens of corporate executives fearful that information unearthed in the expanding probe will expose them to liability.

The fears center on a possible revelation of unreported cyber incidents unrelated to the Russian espionage campaign, giving the SEC a rare level of insight into previously unknown incidents that the companies likely never intended to disclose.
