Full timeline through 2026
2025 — Ninefive subcontractor hack; ~584 employees' contact data
Cataloged incident. Korea trade press reported a late-2025 intrusion against electronics subcontractor Ninefive that LG publicly connected to the leak of roughly five hundred eighty workforce names, mobile numbers, and corporate emails, with LG messaging stressing customer databases were out of scope. BreachHistory indexes this as a supply-chain workforce exposure adjacent to LG’s global manufacturing footprint. Exposed categories include Employee names, mobile numbers, and email identifiers per The Elec reporting. BreachHistory cites approximately 584 affected records in this row. See the lg-electronics-ninefive2025 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
2024 — insider-style contractor theft of HR/customer data; multi-state notices
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. LG Electronics U.S.A. issued 2024 breach notices after a contractor allegedly exfiltrated business contact and human-resources data, with specialist breach journalism framing the case as an insider or trusted-party misuse scenario and regulatory mirrors (e.g., Massachusetts) documenting the vendor’s consumer-notification obligations without a single consolidated victim integer in BreachHistory’s open-source pass. Exposed categories include Names, emails, compensation- or HR-oriented fields, and customer-service contact records per investigative and AG-linked descriptions. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the lg-electronics-insider2024 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
