SECURITY — TRANSPARENCY REPORT SECTION (DRAFT)
Overview: This section describes our security and disclosure governance approach for investor and public transparency audiences in light of SEC cyber-disclosure expectations.
Material Cybersecurity Incident: Previously disclosed Yahoo account-security incidents continued to shape control-improvement and disclosure governance work during the reporting period. We maintained coordinated incident-governance and evidence processes to support accurate external communications.
Regulatory and Legal Outcomes: The SEC 2018 order emphasized disclosure-controls discipline for material cybersecurity events. We continued strengthening escalation and review pathways so legal, finance, and security teams can evaluate and communicate incident information consistently and promptly.
Program Highlights (2018): Program highlights include improved escalation criteria, stronger disclosure-control documentation, enhanced monitoring for incident indicators, and recurring governance reviews. We continue providing updates through validated public channels. References: [SEC order], [Case index]. For questions: [contact].
