Ah, Friday. The sacred time for half-days, happy hour, and oh yeah, massive corporate screwups hoping to sneak under your weekend radar. 

Today’s entry in the Hall of Data Breach Shame comes courtesy of Sensata Technologies, a company that makes sensors but somehow didn’t sense a little thing called ransomware until it was already too late.

According to the [heroic-sounding law firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/data-breach-alert-edelson-lechtzin-llp-is-investigating-claims-on-behalf-of-sensata-technologies-inc-customers-whose-data-may-have-been-compromised-302475522.html?ref=siliconsnark.com), who clearly set their Google Alerts to “Oops,” Sensata realized on or about April 6 that their network had been hit. Turns out, some unauthorized digital gremlin tiptoed through their servers from March 28 to April 6, helping themselves to a buffet of data—names, addresses, Social Security numbers, passport info, financials, health info—basically everything short of your blood type and first pet's name.

But don’t worry: Sensata has “promptly initiated an investigation,” which in corporate-speak means someone found a sticky note that said “update antivirus.”

To recap:

- When did this happen? Late March to early April.
- When did they tell anyone? June 6, a Friday, naturally.
- When will your identity be sold on Telegram? Probably already is.

Of course, Edelson Lechtzin is preparing a class action lawsuit, because what’s a breach without a courtroom sequel? If you’ve ever done business with Sensata, or even accidentally walked past one of their sensors, your data may be starring in a ransomware film near you.

And if you’re thinking, “Wait, I’ve never heard of Sensata,” don’t worry—your credit score might have.
