摘要:We provide the most comprehensive and sharpest analysis of trading by major trader groups, both inside and outside firms, around the onset of cyberattacks and the associated market dynamics. Besides hackers, no one should know about the incoming cyberattacks. However, we find a perplexing pattern: abnormal short selling, especially information-motivated selling, significantly increases in the weeks preceding data-breaches, more so for stocks with a diverse pool of share lenders. No similar patterns are found for the detection and public announcement of cyberattacks, pseudo-cyber events, or among industry peers. Corporate insiders do not trade around attacks, and neither do institutions. Surprisingly, retail investors, despite being the least sophisticated, presciently sell attacked stocks alongside short sellers. Following the cyberattack, attacked stocks experience low returns, while short-selling fees, effective spreads, and price impacts increase significantly. Our results suggest that cyberattacks, potentially representing the tip of the iceberg of firm-specific information originating from outside firms, challenge the traditional paradigm of information asymmetry premised on insiders’ informational advantage over outsiders.
