"The firm now reckons that an unauthorized third party managed to slip inside and make off with non-public information, possibly including records of current and former employees. BK didn't specify what data was included in the data breach or how many individuals were affected, but admitted that it's still working to determine "the nature and scope" of the theft. Law enforcement has been looped in, and notifications to affected individuals and regulators are on the way."
"BK says the intruder has since been booted and access to all systems restored. The company expects most of its clean-up costs to be covered by "insurance" and doesn't believe the incident will leave a dent in its balance sheet. BK Technologies builds rugged handheld and vehicle radios marketed as "unsurpassed in reliability" for police, firefighters, emergency services, military units, and other government agencies. That makes any hint of compromise awkward for a firm whose gear is designed for use when everything else has failed."
BK Technologies identified potentially suspicious activity around September 20, isolated affected systems, and engaged external incident-response teams. A limited number of non-critical systems were disrupted while core operations continued. An unauthorized third party accessed company systems and appears to have stolen non-public information, possibly including records of current and former employees; the company is still determining the nature and scope of the theft. Law enforcement has been notified, and affected individuals and regulators will be informed. The intruder has been removed and access restored. The company expects insurance to cover most remediation costs and does not anticipate material financial impact.
