Tekni-Plex, Inc., a global leader in packaging and medical materials, suffered a cyberattack in November 2024, leading to a data breach disclosed in September 2025. An unauthorized party accessed the company’s systems, exposing sensitive personal information, including driver’s licenses, financial account details, and Social Security numbers. The breach impacted at least 57 individuals in Massachusetts, though the total number is likely higher due to Tekni-Plex’s global operations. The company secured its systems, launched an investigation, and notified affected individuals, offering 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The breach was reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General, and a response portal was set up for impacted individuals. The exposed data poses risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and phishing attacks, with potential long-term consequences for affected parties.
