Sensata Technologies is warning former and current employees it suffered a data breach after concluding an investigation into an April ransomware attack.
Sensata is a global industrial tech firm specializing in mission‑critical sensors, controls, and electrical protection systems. It serves the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries, among others, and has an annual revenue of over $4 billion.
In April, the company filed an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), disclosing that it suffered a ransomware attack on Sunday, April 6, which also included data theft.
The cybersecurity incident impacted Sensata's shipping, manufacturing, and other business operations.
Although preliminary investigations confirmed data exfiltration, the exact data that had been stolen and the scope of the exposure weren't determined at the time.
Subsequent investigations into the incident supported by an external expert showed that the ransomware actors breached Sensata's network on March 28, 2025.
