I think `downrightmike was referencing the alleged insider trading at equifax around the PII breach, not the PII breach itself. Some top executives unloaded stock just before the breach was revealed. So you're both referring to insider trading laws. Honestly the two situations seem very similar. One is a vulnerability leading to PII, the other leading to performance degradation. Both could have negative impact on stock price, and both had executives unloading stock just before their announcement.
