| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
During the course of the investigation into the malware incident previously disclosed by Ingredion Incorporated on October 15, 2019, our external security vendor recently detected another strain of malware on our systems. We took immediate action to analyze and respond to this discovery. We determined that the additional strain of malware could present a risk to individuals who use Ingredion systems to access personal accounts or who have stored personal credentials on their Ingredion system (e.g., utilizing a work computer for conducting transactions on personal financial/banking or e-commerce platforms). At this time, we are not aware of evidence that any employee personal information or any Ingredion business information was misappropriated. We are working with the external vendor to address this additional strain of malware.
SIGNATURES
