Spirol International

Profile narrative

Spirol International is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial components headquartered in the United States of America. The company supplies parts to a range of industries, with leaked data indicating that its customer base includes major automotive and aerospace firms. As a supplier of industrial components, it focuses on providing products that support manufacturing and assembly processes across these sectors.

On February 21, 2014, Spirol International experienced a security breach when the hacking group DeleteSec exploited an SQL injection vulnerability in the news section of its website. The attack resulted in the exposure of approximately 70,000 customer email addresses, of which 886 records contained passwords. Additionally, the breach disclosed 31,123 company names and 26,856 associated email addresses, including those of prominent automotive and aerospace organizations. Clear‑text credentials for 96 user accounts were also released as part of the leaked data. The attackers claimed that the company had been aware of the intrusion prior to the public disclosure but proceeded with the leak after allegedly receiving legal threats. Following the incident, Spirol International's website became inaccessible, disrupting its online presence. The exposure of customer and partner data highlighted risks associated with web‑application flaws in industrial supply‑chain firms. This event remains a notable example of a security incident affecting an industrial component supplier.
