In March 2019, the company experienced a ransomware attack that also affected its affiliate Momentive, leading to a global IT outage and the encryption of critical systems. The attack, attributed to the LockerGoga ransomware variant, forced Hexion to replace hundreds of computers and establish new email domains for employees. While the incident disrupted operations, it highlighted the company's reliance on integrated IT infrastructure across its chemical manufacturing sites. No explicit details about Hexion's ownership structure or parent‑subsidiary relationships are provided in the source material.
