Investigation notes
In September 2026, the Kurt J. Lesker Company disclosed a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General's office. The breach, which reportedly occurred on or about November 12, 2025, remains under investigation as to its exact nature and scope. As a prominent global manufacturer, the company handles significant personal data, and this incident opens an inquiry into the measures it had in place to protect sensitive information.
The reported exposed data includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, and Phone Number. The compromise of such details, particularly Social Security Numbers and financial information, significantly elevates the risk of identity theft, fraudulent financial transactions, and unauthorized tax filings for those affected. Individuals should remain vigilant for unusual activity across their financial accounts and credit reports.
