Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT or national security issue; it is now also a False Claims Act risk. The DOJ has announced its first cyber FCA settlement with a medical device company, signaling a new level of enforcement focus on product security and compliance. Illumina Inc. agreed to pay $9.8 million to resolve allegations that it sold genomic sequencing systems with known software vulnerabilities to multiple federal agencies. What stands out is that DOJ did not allege a breach, but instead focused on misrepresentations about compliance with cybersecurity standards and failures to remediate known vulnerabilities. This case reminds companies in the medical device space and beyond that they must carefully consider how cybersecurity representations intersect with regulatory and contractual obligations.
