Nissan’s Data Breach Drama: 21,000 Customers Exposed in Red Hat Fiasco
Nissan’s data breach saga continues as Red Hat’s compromised servers expose 21,000 customers’ details. While no financial data was leaked, the theft includes names, addresses, and phone numbers. Nissan urges vigilance against suspicious calls or mail. The Crimson Collective, responsible for the breach, accessed sensitive data across big-name brands, putting Red Hat in the crosshairs.
Hot Take:
Looks like Nissan’s motto might be shifting from “Innovation that Excites” to “Data Breaches that Surprise!” Who knew car maintenance could involve so much personal data? Let’s hope they’re shifting gears towards better cybersecurity, lest they end up in the digital junkyard of security blunders.
Key Points:
- Nissan’s customer data breach affects 21,000 customers due to a Red Hat compromise.
- The breach originated from unauthorized access to Red Hat’s data servers, impacting Nissan Fukuoka Sales Co.
- Stolen data includes personal information, but no financial details.
- Red Hat has been targeted by the “Crimson Collective” extortion group.
- Nissan previously faced data breaches, affecting employees and North American customers.
