In June 2021, Friedrich Air Conditioning disclosed a cybersecurity incident in which unauthorized actors gained prolonged access to its internal IT network. The breach resulted in the exposure of sensitive consumer information, including names and Social Security numbers. After detecting the intrusion, the company contained the incident by blocking the attackers’ access, resetting credentials, and engaging external forensic experts. Friedrich subsequently notified affected individuals once the scope of the data compromise had been confirmed. The exposed data could be used for identity theft, fraudulent tax filings, unauthorized credit accounts, and other illicit activities.
