Renault, Dacia Warn of Cyber Attack on Third-Party Data Provider
Renault and Dacia have alerted UK customers about a cyber assault on a third-party data supplier. The incident may have compromised personal data of customers and non-customers, but financial data remains secure. Renault has apologized and stressed data privacy.
The breach, involving names, addresses, dates of birth, and vehicle details, did not infiltrate Renault and Dacia's own systems. The number of affected individuals is currently unrevealed for security reasons. Renault is reaching out to those involved and advising caution against unsolicited information requests.
This incident follows a series of high-profile cyber attacks, including a recent outage at Jaguar Land Rover caused by hackers. Dr. Ricarda Staudinger, a data protection lawyer at Gordons, has provided statements regarding the Renault data leak.
Renault and Dacia urge customers and non-customers who shared personal data with the brands to stay vigilant. While financial data was not compromised, personal data may have been accessed. Renault continues to investigate the incident and will provide updates as needed.
