In February 2012, it was reported that Verisign's network and data had been hacked repeatedly in 2010, but that the breaches had not been disclosed publicly until they were noted in an [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission|SEC]] filing in October 2011.<ref name="Menn 2012">{{cite web | last=Menn | first=Joseph | title=Key Internet operator VeriSign hit by hackers | website=Reuters | date=February 2, 2012 | url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hacking-verisign-idUSTRE8110Z820120202 | access-date=April 16, 2017}}</ref> Verisign did not provide information about whether the breach included its certificate authority business, which was acquired by Symantec in late 2010.<ref name="Menn 2012"/> Oliver Lavery, director of security and research for nCircle, asked rhetorically, "Can we trust any site using Verisign SSL certificates?
