Stellantis confirms data breach via third-party platform supporting North American customer servicesAttack linked to ShinyHunters, part of broader Salesforce-related data theft campaignCustomers warned to avoid suspicious emails and remain alert for phishing attemptsStellantis, one of the world’s largest automakers, confirmed suffering a cyberattack and losing sensitive customer data. In a short announcement, Stellantis said the breach did not occur within its infrastructure, but rather in a third party service provider’s platform that supports its North American customer service operations. The threat actors reprotedly claimed responsibility for the attack, telling the publication it stole more than 18 million Salesforce records, including names, and contact details. In the meantime, Stellantis urged its customers to remain vigilant against potential phishing attempts, and to be particularly wary of incoming communication claiming to come from the automaker. Furthermore, it warned the customers not to click on any links in emails, or other forms of communication, especially in those demanding urgent activity or response.
