- Trio-Tech International disclosed a material cybersecurity incident at its Singapore subsidiary involving a ransomware attack and data breach.

Trio-Tech International (NYSE:TRT) disclosed a material cybersecurity incident at one of its subsidiaries in Singapore, according to a statement released Friday based on a recent SEC filing.
The company reported that on March 11, its Singapore subsidiary identified and responded to a ransomware attack, which resulted in the encryption of certain files within the company’s network. At that time, management determined the incident was not material. On March 18, the incident escalated with the unauthorized disclosure of certain company data, prompting management to conclude that the matter may now constitute a material cybersecurity event.
Upon discovery, the subsidiary activated its response protocols, implemented containment measures, took its network offline, and launched an investigation with third-party cybersecurity professionals. Law enforcement in Singapore was notified, and steps are underway to contain the incident, restore affected systems, and enhance network monitoring. The subsidiary is also notifying affected parties as required by law.
The company stated that the full scope of the data potentially affected has not yet been determined and the investigation is ongoing. The subsidiary is working with its cyber insurance provider to support the investigation, remediation, and potential claims process.The incident comes as Trio-Tech maintains a solid financial position, with the company holding more cash than debt on its balance sheet and liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations, according to InvestingPro data. The company’s market capitalization stands at $53.29 million.
As of the date of the filing, Trio-Tech International reported that the incident has not caused any material disruption to the subsidiary’s operations or the company’s overall business. The company does not expect the incident to have a material impact on its financial results or operations for the three months ending March 31, 2026.
This information is based on a statement released by the company in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
