Kubota North America Corporation’s Data Breach Investigation

Upon learning of the incident, the company immediately secured its network and launched a comprehensive investigation with the assistance of cybersecurity professionals. On April 30, 2026, Kubota determined that files maintained by its human resources team had been accessed, and by June 16, 2026, it confirmed that personal information for 16 New Hampshire residents may have been involved.
