/ 1 min read

Ford denies data breach allegations, claims customer data remains secure. Following claims from a hacker on BreachForums that 44,000 customer records were leaked, Ford has stated that its investigation found no breach of its systems or customer data. The company clarified that the incident involved a third-party supplier and only a small batch of publicly available dealer business addresses. Initially, the leaked records included customer names, locations, and purchase details, raising concerns about potential phishing attacks. However, Ford’s spokesperson emphasized that the matter has been resolved and that customer data remains unaffected. The hacker involved, known for previous breaches at major companies, had offered the data for a nominal fee on the forum.
