Nissan has confirmed that a data breach at Red Hat has compromised the information of about 21,000 customers who purchased vehicles or received services at Nissan Fukuoka Sales Co., Ltd. The breach, which occurred in September, involved unauthorized access to Red Hat's data servers. The leaked information includes full names, physical addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and customer data used for sales operations. Fortunately, no financial details, such as credit card information, were exposed. The breach was initially reported by the Crimson Collective, which claimed responsibility for stealing hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive data from 28,000 private GitLab repositories. ShinyHunters later got involved by hosting samples of the stolen data on their extortion platform. Nissan stated that the compromised environment at Red Hat only contained the data that has been confirmed as impacted, and there is no evidence that the leaked information has been misused. This incident marks Nissan's second cybersecurity issue this year, following a ransomware attack on its design subsidiary, Creative Box Inc., in late August. In previous years, Nissan has also faced data breaches affecting tens of thousands of employees and customers across its different regions, including North America and Oceania.
