Undisclosed data breach

A company I worked for had a massive data breach back in 2016. Due to my technical background they immediately suspected it was me who unleashed ransomware on their systems. As a result, an employee texted me flat out accusing me of the crime. Later, same employee texted me apologizing, saying that it was a co-owner who had accidentally unleashed the malware into their systems by bringing a personal device into the office and not using safe email habits. Lately, anytime I speak out about the breach I'm told that I will be sued for slander. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be bullied into silence.
