Delaware aerospace manufacturer to pay $13M in cybersecurity settlement

Delaware-based aerospace manufacturer ILC Dover, one of the state's most well-known companies, has agreed to pay $13 million to resolve claims that officials lied about compliance with cybersecurity requirements tied to contracts with federal agencies like NASA and the Army, according to federal prosecutors. The settlement stems from a 2025 lawsuit filed in federal court by the company's former Director of Cybersecurity Philip Root. It accused ILC Dover, its former owner New Mountain Capital, current parent company Ingersoll Rand and cybersecurity consultant Gray Analytics of participating in a years-long scheme to conceal the company's failure to meet cybersecurity standards mandated by its federal contracts. The settlement is not an admission of guilt and the lawsuit was settled before it was fully litigated. It remained sealed from public view until Nov. 3 and was dismissed the following day per the settlement agreement. Frederica-based ILC Dover is an engineering and manufacturing company best known for supplying every space suit used by U.S. astronauts since the first Apollo mission and now has product lines in medical device, pharma and aerospace markets. The federal government is a major customer and in recent years, the company has produced various things like gas masks used by

Maryland officials say farm keeps polluting, despite fine and lawsuit

Liquified manure, wads of uneaten hay, gallons of sour milk and juices from rotting cow carcasses. State environmental inspectors say those are the suspected ingredients of a toxic stew that has repeatedly overtaken a stream in northeast Maryland in recent years. It turns the water a sickly green, kills fish by the thousands and gives off a foul odor.

Lawsuits, unpaid taxes plague company behind Columbia River refinery

A company proposing to build a nonconventional diesel refinery on the Columbia River is facing foreclosure, lawsuits and other major financial challenges across the country, according to research collected by Oregon nonprofits. The groups are calling on Gov. Tina Kotek to rescind her support of the project in light of the new information. A letter to the governor flagged Houston-based NEXT Renewable Fuels is no longer allowed to operate in Delaware because it owes nearly half a million dollars in back taxes to the state. Audrey Leonard, staff attorney for the environmental group Columbia Riverkeeper, said the problems do not stop there, adding the site of the proposed refinery in Oregon is under foreclosure because NEXT failed to make payments. "They failed to pay their business taxes and are being sued by investors and consultants that they've hired - all factors into the laundry list of reasons that this is a really bad idea for Oregon and for the community in Clatskanie," Leonard stressed. Leonard noted Kotek voiced her support for the project last year, citing the potential for jobs and added tax revenue. Neither NEXT nor the governor's office responded to a request for comment.
