An alert regarding Alphabet's acquisition of a cloud and AI security firm was mistakenly tagged to an unrelated Brazilian company. The notification intended to inform about the finalization of the deal between Alphabet and Wiz, a security-focused firm.

The incorrect tagging involved Brazil-based Wiz Co Participacoes e Corretagem de Seguros SA, which shares a similar name but has no involvement in the acquisition deal.

The erroneous alert has been withdrawn, and interested parties were advised on how to access the correct information.
