US sensor maker Sensata has told regulators that a ransomware attack caused an operational disruption, and that it’s still working to fully restore affected systems.<\/p>\n

Sensata, which raked in $4 billion in revenue in 2023, said the ransomware attack took place on April 6 and has encrypted “certain devices” on its network. The biz offers sensors, “sensor-rich solutions,” and electrical protection kits used in mission-critical systems, and it boasts it ships “over a billion” devices a year<\/a> [PDF].<\/p>\n

The Attleboro, MA-headquartered company, whose products are used in a variety of contexts including electric vehicles, airplanes, renewable energy, and industrial equipment, actually mentioned the word “ransomware” in its Form 8-K<\/a>. It’s a welcome rarity when it comes to cyber incident disclosures<\/a>, although there is nothing on its website or social media pages highlighting the ongoing technical difficulties.<\/p>\n
