Nissan’s 4TB Data Dilemma: When Ransomware Meets Roadmaps!
Qilin ransomware claims to have breached Nissan CBI, swiping 4TB of data. The stolen loot allegedly includes car design files and 3D models. Qilin threatens to release these automotive secrets unless their demands are met, leaving Nissan in a high-stakes game of “pay up or face the vroom-vroom consequences.”
Hot Take:
Looks like Qilin has taken the concept of “driving innovation” a bit too literally by fast-tracking Nissan’s design secrets into the fast lane of the dark web. With 4TB worth of data in the trunk, this ransomware group seems to be shifting gears from stealing your identity to stealing entire car designs! Nissan better buckle up, because this data breach is about to take them on a wild ride.
