The organization operates multiple facilities across the United States, as evidenced by the ransomware incident that affected most computer systems at several locations. In March 2022, Wilson Tool International experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted operations and led to the encryption of files containing sensitive consumer data. The breach originated from an unpatched system vulnerability that had been previously identified but remained unaddressed due to IT staffing shortages. After containing the intrusion with the assistance of external cybersecurity experts, the company notified affected individuals about the incident. Wilson Tool International did not publicly disclose the specific types of data that were compromised in the attack. The outage caused significant disruption to business operations during the period of system downtime.
