SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events
Web.com Group, Inc. (“Web.com”) issued a press release on August 18, 2015, reporting that on August 13, 2015, it discovered an unauthorized breach of one of its computer systems and that the credit card information of approximately 93,000 customers (of the company’s over 3.3 million customers) may have been compromised. Upon the discovery of this unauthorized activity, Web.com began working with a nationally recognized IT security firm to conduct a thorough investigation and reported the attack to credit card processors and to the proper federal and state authorities. Web.com continues to make significant investments in its internal security processes and systems to prevent incidents like this from occurring. The company will provide one-year of free credit monitoring for all customers who have been impacted by this incident.
