Stellantis’ Cyber Snafu: When Cars Meet Cyber Villains and Revenue Takes a Detour
Stellantis confirmed it was hit by a cyber incident involving a third-party supplier, potentially exposing customer contact information. While no sensitive data was accessed, brace yourself for phishing attempts. In an unfortunate twist, the breach comes amid a challenging financial period for Stellantis, with revenue taking a nosedive.
Hot Take:
Stellantis has hit the brakes on their cybersecurity. While their cars might be hitting the gas, their data seems to have taken the back seat in the latest cyber incident. But hey, at least it wasn’t a full-blown data car crash, just a minor fender bender with some contact info. Time for a pit stop at Cybersecurity Service Station!
Key Points:
- Stellantis suffered a cyber incident through a third-party supplier.
- Only customer contact information was potentially exposed.
- The cybercriminal group Shiny Hunters claimed responsibility for the breach.
- Stellantis’ financial performance has been declining.
- Stellantis is halting production at a factory in Poissy, France, for 15 days.
