BK Technologies Corporation, a Florida-based manufacturer of critical communications equipment, has confirmed a cybersecurity incident impacting its IT infrastructure and internal data systems, including sensitive employee information. The company disclosed that the breach was detected in late September 2025 and has since been contained, with business operations restored without lasting disruption.
According to initial findings, the incident began when threat actors gained unauthorized access to segments of the company’s IT network. While BK Technologies’ core operational systems remained functional, investigators found evidence suggesting that some non-public data—including personal records of current and former employees—had been accessed.
A company spokesperson said that all attackers were successfully removed from its network following immediate containment measures, which included isolating affected systems and engaging third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a full-scale investigation. The company stated that its response strategy prioritized rapid containment, data preservation, and maintaining business continuity.
“BK Technologies recently identified unauthorized activity within portions of our IT environment,” the company confirmed in a statement. “We took immediate action to isolate affected systems, engaged independent cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement authorities. Our preliminary investigation indicates that the attack was contained swiftly, and there has been no lasting operational impact.”
BK Technologies Contained the Breach Within Hours and Found Non-Public Employee Data Potentially Accessed
The company detected suspicious network behavior on September 20, 2025, prompting the activation of its internal incident response plan. Within hours, affected servers were quarantined, and forensic teams were deployed to determine the source and extent of the breach. BK Technologies’ leadership credited its quick isolation measures and pre-established cybersecurity protocols for preventing further escalation.
Forensic specialists later confirmed that attackers had gained access to certain databases containing internal information used for administrative and employee management purposes. Preliminary analysis revealed that the exfiltrated data likely included personal records of employees and former staff, though there was no evidence of access to customer or supplier financial systems.
BK Technologies stated that while some sensitive information was potentially compromised, the scope of the exposure appears limited. The company emphasized that its primary systems supporting communications equipment production and logistics were unaffected, allowing operations to continue uninterrupted.
The corporation, which trades publicly on the NYSE American under the ticker BKTI, operates globally but indicated that the incident was isolated to its internal IT infrastructure in the United States. It added that its cloud-based environments were not compromised.
A company insider confirmed that recovery processes were completed the same day the breach was detected, restoring full functionality to internal systems. Investigators are continuing to assess the precise nature of the accessed information and the techniques used by the attackers to infiltrate the environment.
In compliance with regulatory requirements, BK Technologies has informed law enforcement and relevant data protection authorities of the incident. The company said it will notify affected individuals once the investigation confirms the exact data categories exposed.
Investigation Points to a Financially Motivated Attack While Company Foresees No Material Impact on Operations
While BK Technologies has not attributed the attack to any specific threat group, initial evidence suggests a financially motivated campaign rather than a targeted espionage effort. According to the company’s assessment, the attackers appeared to seek quick financial leverage rather than to disrupt operations or steal intellectual property.
BK Technologies has confirmed that it maintains comprehensive cyber insurance coverage expected to offset a significant portion of the remediation and investigative costs. Leadership indicated that, based on current findings, the incident is unlikely to have a material financial or operational impact, though that assessment may be revised as the investigation progresses.
In its disclosure, the company acknowledged the potential for secondary consequences, including legal and reputational risks, as the investigation continues. It also emphasized a renewed commitment to enhancing cybersecurity resilience through upgraded network monitoring, additional employee training, and expanded endpoint protection systems.
A spokesperson for BK Technologies stated that while the breach involved unauthorized access to internal systems, core product development and manufacturing operations continued without interruption. The company also reiterated that there were no indications of compromise involving its customers, suppliers, or third-party partners.
“Despite the breach, BK Technologies’ business functions remained operational, and we expect minimal long-term consequences,” the company said. “We continue to coordinate with law enforcement and cybersecurity professionals to ensure our systems remain secure and to protect our employees’ information.”
The firm underscored that its leadership team is treating the incident as a critical learning opportunity to refine its security posture and incident response framework.
At present, no Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) have been linked to the breach, and the specific exploit vector remains under analysis. Investigators have not ruled out the use of stolen credentials or a zero-day vulnerability.
The company expects to provide additional updates once forensic efforts conclude and affected individuals have been formally notified.
