Notice of Security Incident

Tempel Steel Company, LLC (“Tempel”) understands the importance of protecting information. We recently identified and addressed a security incident involving information concerning participants in the Tempel’s health and welfare plan (the “Plan”).

What Happened?

On February 6, 2025, we detected unusual activity within our network that caused certain devices to become unavailable. We immediately implemented our response protocols, took measures to contain the activity, and launched an investigation. A cybersecurity firm that has assisted other companies in similar situations also was engaged. We notified law enforcement and are supporting its investigation.
