BK Technologies, a supplier of mission-critical radios to U.S. police, fire services, and military customers, has reported a cyber intrusion detected around September 20. The company has taken measures to isolate affected systems and engaged incident-response teams, maintaining that core operations continue unaffected. However, BK Technologies acknowledged the breach may have resulted in the theft of non-public employee information, prompting cooperation with law enforcement and notifications to potentially affected individuals and regulators. This incident highlights the critical vulnerabilities in the supply chain and the risks faced by organizations that rely on specialized communications equipment, emphasizing the need for heightened cybersecurity measures across all sectors, including defense and emergency services.
