Lakeland, Florida-based Mid-State Industrial Maintenance fell victim to a cyberattack late last month where attackers stole personal information from files stored on the network.
On January 24, Mid-State said it became aware of suspicious activity within its network and it started an investigation to determine the full nature and scope of the event.
“Our investigation determined that between January 23, 2025, and January 24, 2025, certain files and folders were copied from our network without authorization,” the company said in a letter to its victims.
Mid-State said the investigation determined the information contained in the relevant files and folders may have included name, Social Security number, government issued identification number, and financial account information.
“We take the confidentiality, privacy, and security of information in our care seriously,” the company said. “In response to this event, we promptly took steps to secure our systems and conducted a detailed investigation to confirm the full nature and scope of the event. We also notified federal law enforcement of this event.
Mid-State started up in 1973. The company provides in-house machining and fabrication services with large scale capabilities. Mid-State employes 500 engineers and shop personnel that work in manufacturing, repairing, designing, disassembling and transporting equipment and machinery ranging from gearboxes and trommels, to structural piping, tanks and more.
No further information was immediately available as to the type of attack and who was behind it.
