"While the crooks reportedly did not steal any credit card information, leaked personal details include customers' addresses, names, phone numbers, partial email addresses, and other customer-related information used for sales activities. "At this time, there has been no confirmation that the leaked information has been used for secondary purposes," the car manufacturer said in a Japanese-language report translated via Google, adding that customers should be on high alert for suspicious calls or mail - all of these stolen details can be valuable to criminals in targeted phishing attacks or other financial fraud."
"Thousands of Nissan customers are learning that some of their personal data was leaked after unauthorized access to a Red Hat-managed server, according to the Japanese automaker. The IBM-owned open source software maker previously disclosed that "an unauthorized third party had accessed and copied some data from a Red Hat Consulting-managed, dedicated GitLab instance." According to the Nissan breach notification, Red Hat detected the intruders on September 26, and then alerted the automaker on October 3."
About 21,000 customers of the former Nissan Fukuoka Motor Co. had personal data exposed after unauthorized access to a Red Hat-managed server. Leaked details included addresses, names, phone numbers, partial email addresses, and other sales-related customer information; credit card data was reportedly not taken. Red Hat detected the intrusion on September 26 and alerted Nissan on October 3. Nissan said there is no confirmation the data has been misused but warned customers to watch for suspicious calls or mail. Nissan pledged to strengthen subcontractor monitoring and information security; the responsible attackers have not been publicly identified.
