Ransomware Attack on Sensata Technologies Disrupts Global Operations

A ransomware attack that began Sunday, April 6, 2025, has severely disrupted operations at Sensata Technologies, a major industrial manufacturer headquartered in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The company disclosed the incident in an SEC 8-K filing on April 9, revealing that the breach forced it to take its networks offline, halting production, shipping, and other core functions. Law enforcement has been contacted, and cybersecurity experts are supporting recovery efforts. The company confirmed that attackers accessed and stole internal files, though the extent of compromised data remains under investigation.

Founded in 2006, Sensata employs over 19,000 people across multiple continents and reported nearly $4 billion in revenue last year. It specializes in sensors and electronic systems used in vehicles, industrial machinery, and aerospace. Despite the significant disruption, the company does not currently anticipate a material financial impact this quarter. As of Wednesday, no ransomware group has claimed responsibility. Sensata is continuing recovery efforts while assessing potential data exposure and preparing to notify any affected parties.
