What Happened?
Hypertherm, Inc. (“Hypertherm”) employs Oracle’s E-Business Suite (EBS) software to manage internal operations. An unauthorized actor exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in Oracle EBS to access and download files from multiple organizations—including Hypertherm.
The company’s investigation, assisted by third-party cybersecurity experts, confirmed that files were removed from Hypertherm’s EBS environment in August 2025. Hypertherm completed a file-by-file review and determined that at least one document contained personal information belonging to consumers later notified.
Information Involved
The notice states that the affected files contained your Data Elements. Specific data fields were not enumerated in the Maine filing, but typically may include items such as names, Social Security numbers, or financial details.
