Industrial tech maker Sensata yesterday confirmed it notified victims of an April 2025 data breach that compromised names, SSNs, Tax ID numbers, government-issued ID numbers, financial account info, payment card info, medical info, health insurance info, and DOBs.
In a blog post reporting this news, Paul Bischoff, Consumer Privacy Advocate at Comparitech, wrote:
“In 2025 to date, Comparitech researchers have logged 21 confirmed ransomware attacks on US manufacturers. We’re monitoring another 334 unconfirmed claims that haven’t been acknowledged by the targeted companies.”
“The manufacturing industry is a growing target for hackers. The total number of attacks rose from 40 in 2022 to 85 in 2023 and 94 in 2024. The number of records breached rose accordingly as well, from 1 million in 2023 to 2.5 million in 2024.”
“Ransomware attacks on US manufacturers can both steal data and lock down computer systems, leading to costly production delays and significant business risks. Manufacturers must pay a ransom or face extended downtime, data loss, and putting data subjects at increased risk of fraud.”
Wonderful. Another health care industry data breach. It shows that threat actors are running wild which is completely insane. The fact is that the insanity needs to stop and stop now.
