Aerospace Alloys Discloses Data Breach Exposing Social Security Numbers Aerospace Alloys, Inc. (AAI), a Connecticut-based specialty metal service center and high-performance alloy distributor, recently reported a data breach affecting sensitive personal information. Founded in 1980, the company supplies critical materials to industries such as aerospace, defense, power generation, naval, and medical sectors, serving major clients like Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. On July 9, 2026, AAI detected unauthorized activity within its computer network, prompting an investigation. The company determined that certain data had been potentially copied without authorization. A subsequent review, completed on July 31, 2026, confirmed that exposed information included names and Social Security numbers. AAI began notifying affected individuals on August 19, 2026, and disclosed the breach to the South Carolina Attorney General’s office. As part of its response, the company is offering 24 months of free credit monitoring, credit reporting, and fraud assistance through Cyberscout, a TransUnion subsidiary. Affected individuals must enroll within 90 days of receiving their notification letter. The incident underscores the ongoing risks of cyber threats targeting industrial and defense-related supply chains. No further details on the breach’s origin or the number of impacted individuals have been disclosed.
