Abstract: The increase in security breaches in the last few years and the need to insure information assets has created an intensified interest in information security and risk within organizations. However, very little is known of the financial impact and the risk associated with the various types of security breaches. This article reports the impact of virus attack announcements on the market value of affected companies over a period of 15 years. The study was conducted using event study methodology. The results show that in general the market does not penalize companies that experience such an attack.
