Cycurion, a cybersecurity solutions provider, has revealed it is the target of a highly coordinated adversarial campaign aimed at manipulating its stock price. This campaign began on March 16, 2026, with the distribution of a fabricated press release through ACCESSWIRE, falsely announcing a massive acquisition. This was followed by significant stock price manipulation, including a short sale circuit breaker trigger and extraordinary spikes in short selling volume, along with identified spoofing activity. Cycurion has initiated a lawsuit against ACCESSWIRE and plans to include other market manipulators, seeking over $30 million in damages. The company highlights that this pattern of stock manipulation is not isolated, citing similar lawsuits filed by Genius Group Limited, Datavault AI, TI Fluid Systems, and Quantum BioPharma, and notes the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission's focus on spoofing. Despite these external challenges, Cycurion reports internal operational strengths, including significant debt reduction, cost controls, successful integration of acquisitions (Secuvant and Digital Ally's Video Solutions segment), and substantial contract wins, positioning it for revenue growth and improved margins.
