Kyocera AVX Components Corporation Data Security Incident

Maxey Law Firm is investigating Kyocera AVX Components Corporation, which recently sent notice of a data security incident to impacted individuals. The notice states that the data security incident arose when an unauthorized party gained access to, and took information from, certain systems between February 16, 2023, and March 30, 2023.

Kyocera AVX reported that the data security incident impacted 39,111 individuals.

For each of these 39,111 individuals, the information involved may have included their first and last name, address, date of birth, personal contact details such as phone number and email, employment-related data such as employee ID, compensation and salary information, employment performance, trade union data, health and medical-related information, gender identity, race and ethnicity, signatures, certain government-issued identifiers such as social security number, driver’s license number, passport number, other identification numbers, tax information, and financial account number.

It is unclear whether or not the Social Security numbers were encrypted and, if not, why they were not encrypted.
