Foxconn Technology Group is recovering from recent a ransomware attack which happened around May 12.
In a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the company said:
"Some of Foxconn's factories in North America suffered a cyberattack. The cybersecurity team immediately activated the response mechanism and implemented multiple operational measures to ensure the continuity of production and delivery. The affected factories are currently resuming normal production."
It's unclear which facilities were targeted and what the total impact of the attack had on the company. Reports have pointed to an organization called "Nitrogen Group" which allegedly committed the act.
Foxconn's North American headquarters is located in 611 East Wisconsin Avenue but it's main facilities in the state are in Mount Pleasant.
In 2017, the company originally planned to build a massive advanced manufacturing campus with $10 billion of capital investment and 13,000 employees statewide. However Foxconn drastically changed course with its operations in Wisconsin and, as of 2025, had more than 1,300 workers in the state.
Foxconn sold most of its land in Mount Pleasant to Microsoft which is in the process of building a massive data center campus. Microsoft is in the final stages of finishing its first data center and already has more than 375 workers at the facility.
