Cyberattack at Metal Maker, Distributor, Kloeckner Metals
INCIDENT
Alpharetta, Georgia-based metal maker and distributor, Kloeckner Metals Corporation, suffered a cyberattack in February where personally identifiable information ended up stolen in the hack.
“On February 23, 2026, Kloeckner identified unusual activity within their network,” the company said in a notice to victims. “Upon identifying the activity, steps were immediately taken to secure the network and an investigation commenced.”
Kloeckner hired a cybersecurity firm that has assisted other companies in addressing similar situations. To that end, the investigation determined there was unauthorized access to the network between February 17 and February 23. That is when attackers took copies of certain files.
