Plan Adviser: The Securities and Exchange Commission has withdrawn 14 proposed rules and amendments issued between March 2022 and November 2023, under former President Joe Biden, continuing the agency’s regulatory shift under leadership appointed by President Donald Trump.

The Target: Sensata is a global industrial tech firm specializing in mission‑critical sensors, controls, and electrical protection systems. It serves the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries, among others, and has an annual revenue of over $4 billion.
The Take: The company is now notifying an undisclosed number of impacted individuals that the following data was stolen: Full name, address, Social Security Number (SSN), driver's license number, state ID card number, passport number, financial account information, payment card information, medical information, health insurance information, date of birth.
The Vector: Subsequent investigations into the incident supported by an external expert showed that the ransomware actors breached Sensata's network on March 28, 2025.
This breach highlights the extreme importance of timely software updates for known software vulnerabilities, not only in systems directly under a firm’s control, but in third-party systems the firm relies upon as well. The longer a firm, or its vendors, hold out on deploying the most up-to-date software for their systems, the greater the chance an attacker will exploit the issue.
