Timex Group’s Data Breach

January 30, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

Timex Group, the iconic US watch manufacturer, fell victim to a data breach in June 2023, with attackers infiltrating the company’s systems and potentially gaining access to personal details, including Social Security numbers (SSNs). The breach, characterized as “sophisticated,” lasted for several days, impacting over 3,000 individuals. Timex’s breach notification letter informed affected parties about the unauthorized access to certain information during the incident. Despite the breach occurring in June, Timex concluded its investigation in mid-December, unveiling the potential theft of sensitive data.

The compromised data, including names and SSNs, poses significant risks as cybercriminals can exploit the stolen information for identity theft, especially when combined with other personal details like driver’s license numbers. Timex, founded in 1854 and headquartered in the US, emphasizes the severity of the breach by offering affected individuals two years of credit monitoring and identity protection services. The proactive measures aim to mitigate potential repercussions and safeguard the affected parties from further harm stemming from the unauthorized access to their personal information.

The disclosure of the Timex Group’s data breach highlights the evolving threat landscape faced by established companies, reinforcing the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive customer data. As one of the leading global watch companies with a revenue exceeding $1.7 billion in 2022 and nearly 7,000 employees, Timex’s commitment to addressing the breach underscores the importance of swift and comprehensive responses to cybersecurity incidents. The incident serves as a reminder of the pervasive risks in the digital age and the critical role companies play in safeguarding customer information from sophisticated cyber threats.
