KEY TRONIC CORPMay 2024
$15M est.
Orders & sales lost
Business interruption
Key Tronic's plants in Washington and Mexico sat idle for two weeks in May 2024, not because a machine broke but because the office IT they run on was encrypted, one trust boundary shared between the business network and the factory floor. Black Basta claimed the intrusion and leaked roughly 530 gigabytes, employee passports and Social Security cards among it, while the company confirmed personal data had left the building. How the access first began was never named. The bill ran to about $17 million, most of it revenue that simply stopped when a breach reached the plant floor.
