The investor filing: Form 8-K of Oct 10, 2024. An 8-K is tied to the incident by the company and the dates, so read it before relying on it. It says: "On October 10, 2024, American Water Works Company, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release to provide an update regarding its previously announced cybersecurity incident that it first reported via Current Re port on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 7, 2024."
Filings
| Agency | Record date | People | In total | Days to notice | Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEC Form 8-K SEC Form 8-K | Oct 10, 2024 | Not published | 0 days from breach end | 8-K Record |
People is the count the filing gives, residents of the state unless marked total. Days to notice runs from the discovery date the letter states, or from the end of the breach window when no letter states one, to the date on the state's first record of the incident. "Over" marks a count past the days the state's statute allows for notice to residents. The statute's trigger is a question of fact, the days are arithmetic.
