Snap-on

Snap-on, American automotive tools manufacturer, suffered a data breach incident after the Conti ransomware gang began leaking the company's data in March.

The company detected suspicious activity in their network and upon investigation realised that the threat actors stole personal data belonging to employees.

The compromised information included names, Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, and employee identification numbers.

They immediately took down our network connections as part of our defense protocols and offered a free one-year subscription to the IDX identity theft protection service for those affected.
