Summary
A former IBM cybersecurity exec is blowing the whistle on massive, hidden breaches — alleging the tech giant was hit by Chinese state hackers at least three times over the past decade, with IBM allegedly covering them up instead of alerting government agencies. The lawsuit, unsealed this week, claims IBM knew about the attacks — including one on its main network between 2013 and 2016 — but failed to notify authorities or investigate properly, citing missing logs. The former VP says breaches also hit acquired subsidiaries like Trusteer and Truven, all swept under the rug. With IBM a major cybersecurity contractor for the U.S. government, these claims raise serious questions about transparency and trust in the industry — especially when selling security to the very agencies that need it most.
