Nissan Oceania’s Data Disaster: 100K Affected in Cyber Heist, Akira Ransomware Suspected

In a data debacle, Nissan Oceania’s going to dial-up 100,000 unlucky Aussies and Kiwis, thanks to a cyber sneak attack. If you’re in the 10%, your gov ID’s gone walkabout. Free credit monitoring’s on offer, but no word on whether it was the Akira ransomware rogues demanding a data ransom.

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Nissan Oceania's IT team might just have had the most turbocharged headache of the decade. With 100,000 people getting a "you've been hacked" note faster than a GT-R hits 60 mph, it's safe to say Nissan's cyber garage needs better security alarms. And let's not overlook the irony of car manufacturers needing a tow after the Akira ransomware gang took them for a joyride. Buckle up, folks, because this cyber saga has more twists than a mountain pass!
