Industrial Scientific Reports Data Breach

Industrial Scientific Corporation, a leading provider of gas detection technology based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently reported a data breach that exposed sensitive personal and health information. The breach was discovered following two separate cybersecurity incidents involving unauthorized third parties that triggered unusual activity within the company’s network environment. The incidents, which occurred between October and November 2023, prompted Industrial Scientific to launch a comprehensive investigation into the scope of the breach and its potential impact. The company’s investigation revealed that the data of certain individuals had been accessed without authorization between January 25, 2023, and November 6, 2023.

Upon completing the investigation, Industrial Scientific identified several types of personal and sensitive information that were potentially exposed. The compromised data included names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, financial information (such as account numbers and credit card details), health insurance information, and even more critical identifiers such as driver’s license numbers, passport details, and birth certificate numbers. In response, the company has been working diligently to notify all affected individuals and has provided them with detailed information on what specific data was impacted. This is part of their effort to ensure transparency and assist those whose personal information may have been compromised.

In early October 2024, Industrial Scientific began mailing data breach notification letters to the affected individuals. Along with these notifications, the company is offering complimentary credit monitoring services to help mitigate the potential risk of identity theft or fraud. As part of its commitment to addressing the issue, the company also included instructions for affected individuals on how to protect their personal data and monitor for any suspicious activity. This proactive approach reflects the company’s dedication to minimizing the effects of the breach on its customers and partners.

Founded in 1985, Industrial Scientific Corporation is a recognized leader in the development of gas detection solutions that protect workers from hazardous environments. The company pioneered a range of innovative products, including the first 3-gas and 6-gas detectors and wireless detection systems, and has been integral in safety advancements across various industries worldwide. With over 10 global locations and a workforce of over 1,000 employees, Industrial Scientific has built a reputation for providing cutting-edge technology that has helped protect millions of workers, including the development of a gas detector used on a NASA space shuttle. Despite this setback, the company remains committed to ensuring the security and safety of its stakeholders.
