The litigation centers on claims that Alarum violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing false and misleading statements. The complaint alleges that the firm's NetNut subsidiary surreptitiously connected customer home devices to external networks without consent. These operations reportedly allowed cybercriminals to mask their physical locations, creating significant, undisclosed legal exposure for the company. When these practices surfaced, the resulting market reaction led to financial losses for shareholders.
