As per routine for public companies, Verisign filed a quarterly 10-Q with the SEC in October, 2011. The form includes a section asking about any security issues that could compromise the company, and in this instance Verisign disclosed a 2010 hack into limited parts of their computers and servers. While the disclosure suddenly got a lot of attention months later, one commentator notes that it was not a big deal at all and seemed to be a "minor network breach".<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120202_world_notices_verisign_said_3_months_ago_they_had_security_breach/ World notices Verisign Said 3 months ago They Had Security Breach, CircleID.com]</ref> Verisign has since reaffirmed that its [[DNS]] was not compromised.<ref>[http://verisigninc.com/en_US/news-events/press-room/articles/index.xhtml?artLink=aHR0cHM6Ly9wcmVzcy52ZXJpc2lnbi5jb20vZWFzeWlyL2N1c3RvbXJlbC5kbz9lYXN5aXJpZD1BRkMwRkYwREI1QzU2MEQzJnZlcnNpb249bGl2ZSZwcmlkPTg0Nzg2OSZyZWxlYXNlanNwPWN1c3RvbV85Nw%3D%3D&CMP=TW Press Release, VerisignINC.com]</ref>
