<\/gwmw><\/gwmw>On May 6, 2024, the company detected unauthorized access to portions of its information technology systems. Keytronic immediately launched an investigation into the incident with the help of external cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was forced to halt domestic and Mexico operations for approximately two weeks. <\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The cybersecurity incident caused disruptions, and limitation of access, to portions of the Company\u2019s business applications supporting aspects of the Company\u2019s operations and corporate functions, including financial and operating reporting systems.” reads the FORM\u00a08-K\/A<\/strong><\/a> filed with SEC.<\/em> “Since the date of the Original Report, the Company has determined that the threat actor accessed and exfiltrated limited data from the Company\u2019s environment, which includes some personally identifiable information.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the date of the FORM 8-K filing, the company has restored its operations and corporate functions and locked out the unauthorized third party.<\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keytronic is notifying potentially affected parties and regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
