BK Technologies’ Cyber Oops: When “Unsurpassed Reliability” Hits a Snag!
BK Technologies, a Florida-based maker of mission-critical radios, confessed to a cyber intrusion that briefly rattled its IT systems. The company detected “potentially suspicious activity,” leading to a digital fire drill. Fortunately, only a “limited number of non-critical systems” were disrupted, and BK claims its operations are now back to normal.
Hot Take:
It’s all fun and games until someone hacks the radio you rely on during a zombie apocalypse. BK Technologies might need to reconsider their slogan from “unrivaled in reliability” to “mostly reliable, unless hacked.” Seems like even the most mission-critical radios need a little extra cybersecurity TLC.
Key Points:
- BK Technologies experienced a cyber intrusion affecting non-critical systems.
- The breach potentially leaked non-public employee data.
- External experts and law enforcement are involved in the investigation.
- Operations continued with minimal disruption despite the incident.
- The company believes insurance will cover most clean-up costs.
