Ford Motor Company is actively investigating allegations of a data breach involving 44,000 customer records. Spokesperson Richard Binhammer confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and declined to comment further.
The claimed attackers, known as EnergyWeaponUser and IntelBroker, bragged about breaking into Ford's network and uploading the database to BreachForums without demanding payment, suggesting no one was willing to buy the information.
The duo has a history of attempting to sell other companies' sensitive data but resorted to posting Ford's stolen information freely, which allegedly includes customer names, addresses, and purchase history.
The Register has not verified the legitimacy of the stolen data, highlighting the potential unreliability of the claims circulating among cyber crime forums.
