WYTEC INTERNATIONAL INC 8-K/A

What Happened Wytec International, Inc. (WYTC) filed an amendment to its Form 8-K to update investors about a cybersecurity incident first discovered on August 25, 2025, when a bad actor defaced the company website (wytecintl.com). The company restored the site from backups, but the attacker defaced it again; Wytec then took the site offline and placed a temporary page while reviewing the web platform. As of this amendment (filed February 3, 2026), Wytec reports it has restored impacted IT systems and data, is working through minor operational impacts, and the investigation by authorities has been closed without identifying the source.

Key Details

• Incident discovered: August 25, 2025; amendment filed February 3, 2026.
• Immediate action: website taken down, restored from backups, then rebuilt on a new server/hosting platform.
• Investigation outcome: authorities closed the investigation and were unable to identify the attacker; company received no contact from the bad actor.
• Financial/operational impact: company believes impacts consist primarily of costs to rebuild the website, move to new hosting, and enhance security protocols; no dollar amounts disclosed.

Why It Matters

• Remediation costs and platform rebuilds can affect short-term cash flow and operating expenses; Wytec has not provided a dollar estimate.
• Operational disruption appears limited to minor impacts per the filing, and the company reports systems and data were restored.
• Authorities were unable to identify the attacker and the company reports no contact, which may reduce some uncertainty, but investors should monitor for any further disclosures about costs or additional impacts.
• This update is material because it relates to the company’s cybersecurity posture and potential financial or reputational effects; Wytec included standard forward-looking statement language about future risks.
