Manufacturers love Logitech gear.
Wireless mice. Keyboards. Webcams.
The stuff works. And it survives being knocked off a desk 47 times a day.
But in November 2025, Logitech revealed it had suffered a nasty data breach, thanks to the Clop ransomware gang exploiting a zero-day in Oracle’s E-Business Suite.
Translation:
Hackers broke in through a software hole no one knew existed…
And they helped themselves to internal data like it was a Black Friday sale.
More than you think.
Logitech isn’t just a mouse company.
They’re part of the hardware supply chain you rely on every day.
If hackers compromise:
keyboard firmware,
device drivers,
cloud management tools,
or even the update system…
They can use those as backdoor entry points into YOUR network.
Yep.
A hacker could literally stroll in through your mouse.
Manufacturers work with:
shipping companies
ERP vendors
robotics vendors
parts suppliers
software companies
automation partners
And every single one of those partners connects to your technology somehow.
When they get breached…
you can get breached accidentally.
You can’t stop a zero-day from existing.
You can stop it from turning your business upside-down.
Do this:
✔ keep devices updated
✔ isolate vendor tools on separate networks
✔ restrict access privileges
✔ assume EVERYTHING can break
(Especially if it’s used by more than 10 million people.)
Your production line may have:
USB devices
Wireless headsets
IoT scanners
Touchscreen panels
If just ONE of those gets compromised?
Hackers won’t care if it’s a forklift scanner or a million-dollar robotic arm…
They’ll take whatever gets them in.
✓ Ban personal USB devices
✓ Segment your network
Production network ≠ office network.
Shop floor ≠ Wi-Fi guest network.
✓ Monitor vendor tools
Any app that can “auto update” can “auto break stuff.”
✓ Review your supplier cybersecurity posture
Ask annoying questions like:
Do you patch zero-days quickly?
Do you have SOC 2 compliance?
How do you store customer data?
If they can’t answer… RED FLAG.
If a global company like Logitech can get hit by a zero-day, imagine how easy it is for attackers to target:
your old barcode scanner
your 2012 Windows workstation
your wireless input devices
your “temporary” tool that’s somehow been running for 7 years
Cybercrime doesn’t always come through the front door.
Sometimes it scrolls in on your mouse wheel.
Stay secured, stay updated, and keep your supply chain tight.
