What Happened?
Furuno U.S.A., Inc. (Furuno) discovered unauthorized access to certain company computer systems on September 15, 2025. A third-party cybersecurity firm was engaged, and the investigation determined that an unknown actor viewed or obtained files stored on Furuno’s servers between September 12 and September 15, 2025.
Furuno completed a detailed review of the affected files on December 29, 2025 and began mailing individual notification letters on January 14, 2026, as required by state law.
Information Involved
According to Furuno’s notice to the Maine Attorney General, “The information included your name and data elements.” Specific data fields were not listed in the public filing. Impacted individuals should review their letter for exact details.
Company Response
- Secured the network immediately after detecting the intrusion.
- Engaged an external cybersecurity firm to investigate.
- Notified law-enforcement authorities where required.
- Implemented additional security measures to reduce the likelihood of future incidents.
- Arranged complimentary Kroll identity monitoring for all affected individuals.
Your Next Steps
Furuno recommends the following actions, which are echoed by privacy experts:
- Activate the free Kroll identity monitoring service using the instructions and membership number in your letter.
- Closely review bank, credit-card and medical statements for suspicious charges.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the major credit bureaus.
- Promptly report any incidents of identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement.
- Preserve all letters, emails and receipts related to the breach; they may be needed for reimbursement or legal claims.
Legal Options
Under U.S. consumer-protection laws, companies that fail to adequately safeguard personal information can be held financially responsible for resulting damages. Data-breach litigation commonly seeks reimbursement for:
- Out-of-pocket expenses (credit monitoring, identity-theft restoration, etc.)
- Time spent addressing fraudulent activity
- Possible unauthorized charges or account takeovers
- Enhanced credit-monitoring costs in the future
If you experienced fraud or wish to explore your rights, consider speaking with a qualified attorney who handles data-breach cases against technology and electronics companies such as Furuno.
