      Know Your Breach: Sensata Technologies

      The Target: ​Sensata Technologies is an industrial technology company that develops, manufactures, and sells a wide range of sensors and sensor-rich solutions, as well as electrical protection components and systems.

      Know Your Breach: StreamElements

      The Target: StreamElements is a popular cloud-based streaming tools platform used primarily by content creators on Twitch and YouTube. It provides a suite for stream overlays, tips/donations, chatbots, activity feeds, merch store integration, stream analytics, loyalty/reward systems, and more.

      The Take: A threat actor using the nickname "victim" claimed to have stolen the data of 210,000 StreamElements customers on March 20, 2025. The threat actor also shared samples of the stolen data, which included full names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.

      The Vector: The same hacker claimed that they breached a StreamElements employee via an information-stealing malware infection, which allowed them to take over an internal account and access the platform's order management system.

      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.
