The company “began promptly taking steps to contain and respond to the incident, including activating its incident response plan, proactively taking potentially affected systems offline and implementing other containment, remediation, or recovery measures,” the filing said. North Carolina-based steel company Nucor said it temporarily halted production operations at some locations because of a recent cybersecurity incident and is working to restart them. Recent cybersecurity-related 8-K filings by U.S. manufacturers include medical technology company Masimo, industrial sensor maker Sensata, home appliance company National Presto Industries and semiconductor firm Microchip Technology. In an 8-K filing with federal regulators, Nucor said the incident involved “unauthorized third party access to certain information technology systems” but did not explain further. Headquartered in Charlotte, Nucor reported sales of $7.83 billion in the first quarter of 2025 and calls itself “North America’s largest steel manufacturer and recycler,” with about 25,000 employees. The company said it only halted some operations “in an abundance of caution.” From recycling centers to large plants, the company operates at about 300 locations overall.
