Southwire Data Breach Exposes SSNs, Medical Info; Lawsuit Possible - ClassAction.org
Southwire, a Georgia-based wire and cable manufacturer, has experienced a data breach exposing personal information including Social Security numbers and medical details.
Southwire became aware of unusual activity on its systems on January 29, 2026. Following an investigation with third-party cybersecurity specialists, the company determined that an unauthorized party acquired certain files from its systems between November 2025 and January 2026.
In late October, Southwire learned that the potentially exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, health plan information, and medical details. A November 11 report filed with the Vermont Attorney General's Office revealed additional compromised data including government ID numbers, financial account codes, and login credentials.
