The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) dropped nearly 3% early Friday, contributing to bitcoin's decline to $66,000. Stocks of cybersecurity firms like Palo Alto Networks (PANW), CrowdStrike (CRWD), and Fortinet (FTNT) also fell by 4%-6%.
The leak occurred when internal materials were accidentally exposed in a publicly accessible data store, exposing around 3,000 assets, including draft announcements and internal content.
