KYB Americas Corporation Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Personal Information
CohenMalad, LLP is investigating a significant data breach involving KYB Americas Corporation, a major hydraulic components manufacturer headquartered in Franklin, Indiana. The breach compromised the personal information of at least 2,041 individuals, potentially exposing them to identity theft, fraud and financial harm.
KYB began notifying affected individuals by mail on April 22, 2025. If you received a letter from KYB informing you of this data breach, you likely qualify to join a related class action lawsuit.
Significant Private Information Compromised
KYB detected suspicious activity within its network on February 18, 2025, after certain systems became inaccessible. A forensic investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party had accessed KYB’s systems for six days, between February 11-17, 2025, and exfiltrated sensitive data.
The ransomware group Cactus has claimed responsibility for the KYB breach. The group asserts it stole 1.8 terabytes of data, including:
- Employee and executive personnel files
- Engineering schematics and confidential business documents
- Customer and partner information
- Database backups and HR department records
Although KYB has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the compromised information, state-mandated filings confirm that the stolen data likely includes:
- Full names
- Social Security numbers
- Driver’s license or other government-issued ID numbers
- Credit or debit card numbers with security codes or passwords
- Financial account information
