BK Technologies Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information
Given its role as a supplier to public‑safety and government agencies, BK Technologies recognises the heightened obligation to safeguard sensitive information and supply‑chain security.
Multiple media outlets announced in early October that BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American: BKTI), a manufacturer of mission‑critical communications equipment for government and public‑safety markets, disclosed a cybersecurity incident impacting portions of its information‑technology infrastructure and employee data.
On or about September 20, 2025, BK Technologies detected potentially suspicious activity within its IT systems. Immediately upon detection, the Company initiated containment steps, including isolating affected systems, engaging external cybersecurity advisors, and launching a forensic investigation.
As of the latest update, the Company believes the unauthorized third‑party actor has been removed, and access to the impacted information has been restored.
Scope and Nature of the Data Access
Preliminary analysis indicates that an unauthorized actor accessed non‑public information maintained by the Company, which may include records pertaining to current and former employees. While the full extent of the data accessed or exfiltrated is still under investigation, the Company emphasises that no specific disclosure of publicly‑released employee data has been confirmed to date. At this time, there is no evidence publicly disclosed of ransomware deployment, extortion demands or a specified threat‑actor group taking credit.
Operational Impact and Customer Services
The incident caused only minor disruptions to a limited number of non‑critical systems. Core business operations—including manufacturing and service delivery to public‑safety and government customers—remained uninterrupted and materially unaffected. The Company affirms it maintained continuity of operations throughout the event and the remediation phases.
Financial, Insurance and Regulatory Aspects
BK Technologies expects that a significant portion of the direct costs associated with containing, investigating and remediating the incident will be recovered through insurance coverage.
At present, based on available information, the Company does not believe the incident is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
That said, management cautions that the ongoing investigation may uncover additional information and that legal, regulatory or reputational risks may still arise.
Next Steps and Commitment to Transparency
The Company has notified relevant law‑enforcement authorities and will furnish notice to affected individuals and regulatory agencies as appropriate.
It is actively supporting forensic efforts to determine exactly what data was accessed and what vectors may have been used by the unauthorized actor. The Company also undertakes to review and strengthen its cybersecurity controls and risk‑management processes in light of this event.
Given its role as a supplier to public‑safety and government agencies, BK Technologies recognises the heightened obligation to safeguard sensitive information and supply‑chain security.
