Medical device maker Masimo Corporation reported a cyberattack on April 27th, 2025, that impacted its on-premise internal IT infrastructure. The attack forced shutdowns across manufacturing operations and has temporarily delayed customer orders. The Irvine, California-based company, a leading global provider of noninvasive monitoring technologies like pulse oximeters, has filed an 8K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to clarify the details. While the full scope, nature, and impact of the incident are still under investigation, Masimo has taken immediate steps to contain the incident and isolate the affected systems.
Masimo is working with third-party incident response experts to assess, mitigate, and remediate the attack. Law enforcement authorities, including the FBI, have been notified and are coordinating with the company's response efforts. Despite the disruption, Masimo stated in regulatory filings that there is no evidence of employee or patient data being compromised. CEO Katie Szyman confirmed the attack disrupted the company's website and several computer systems but indicated the incident is not expected to change the company's financial guidance at this time, although the company cautioned it has not yet determined the full impact.
The cyberattack comes amid internal restructuring within Masimo, including new leadership and pressure from an activist investor. Masimo also announced a $350 million agreement to sell its consumer audio division, Sound United, to Harman International, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co. Masimo reaffirmed its annual revenue forecast, and noted non-GAAP earnings rose 56% from the year-ago period. The incident highlights the increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities facing the healthcare and medical device sectors.
