Furuno U.S.A., Inc. experienced a cybersecurity incident that exposed sensitive personal information. On September 15, 2025, the company discovered unauthorized access to its systems, prompting an internal investigation and notification to affected individuals.
Furuno’s Data Breach Investigation
Furuno U.S.A., Inc., a provider of marine electronics and navigation equipment, confirmed a data breach after detecting unauthorized access to its internal systems on September 15, 2025. The breach, which occurred over several days between September 12 and September 15, 2025, allowed an unauthorized actor to access and potentially extract confidential files stored on Furuno’s servers.
Once the breach was discovered, Furuno acted swiftly to contain the situation. The company secured its systems and launched a thorough investigation with the help of a leading third-party cybersecurity firm. Their assessment revealed that certain files had been accessed or obtained by an unauthorized individual.
Further analysis identified that at least one of the accessed files contained personally identifiable information (PII), including the name and Social Security number of a Maine resident. On December 29, 2025, Furuno concluded its internal review and confirmed the exposure of this sensitive data. Notification letters were issued on January 14, 2026, to the affected party via U.S. First-Class mail.
To support the impacted individual, Furuno is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services for one year through Kroll, a trusted name in identity protection. In addition, the company has established a toll-free call center to handle inquiries from those potentially affected.
As a preventive measure, Furuno reports that it has taken steps to reinforce its cybersecurity defenses, aiming to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. While only one resident has been formally identified so far, further exposure may yet come to light, particularly as investigations often reveal broader impacts over time. Individuals with ties to Furuno or its services are encouraged to remain vigilant.
This incident underscores the importance of timely breach notification, thorough forensic analysis, and consumer protection. Even breaches that appear to affect a small number of individuals can lead to significant personal and financial harm. If more people are identified as impacted in the coming weeks, a broader class action investigation may become viable.
