Background on DISH Network
Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, DISH Network, together with its subsidiaries, is an American television provider that offers Pay-TV services. They operate in two different segments, Wireless and Pay-TV.
The Securities Fraud Claims
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had overstated its operational efficiency and maintained a deficient cybersecurity and information technology infrastructure; (ii) as a result, DISH was unable to properly secure customer data, leaving it vulnerable to access by malicious third parties; (iii) the foregoing cybersecurity deficiencies rendered Dish’s operations susceptible to both widespread service outages and hindered the Company’s ability to respond to such outages; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On February 24, 2023, DISH announced that a “network outage” caused the Company’s websites and apps to cease functioning, subjected customers to authentication issues when signing into TV channel apps using their Dish credentials and appeared to render the Company’s call center phone numbers unreachable. Then, on February 28, 2023, Dish confirmed that they had determined that the outage was due to a cyber-security incident and the appropriate law enforcement had been notified. On this news, Dish’s stock price fell $0.79 per share, or 6.48%, to close at $11.41 per share on February 28, 2023.
