Hot Take:

Looks like Sensata Technologies is in a bit of a sensor sitch! While their gadgets might be detecting motion just fine, they didn’t quite see this ransomware attack coming. Maybe next time they should invest in a sensor that detects cyber criminals before they encrypt everything. Until then, let’s hope they figure out which files are missing before they start misplacing their car keys too!

Key Points:

  • Sensata Technologies experienced a ransomware attack impacting operations.
  • The company detected the cyberattack on April 6, causing file encryption.
  • Evidence indicates hackers have stolen files from Sensata’s systems.
  • Operations like shipping, receiving, and manufacturing have been disrupted.
  • Sensata is unsure of the attack’s full scope or which ransomware group is responsible.
