Ferrari confirms Ransomware attack Resulted in Customer Personal Data Exposure

Ferrari, the Italian luxury car maker, confirmed it was hit by a ransomware attack that exposed customers’ personal information.. Ferrari CEO, Benedetto Vigna, sent a letter to affected customers informing them of the incident. The hackers were able to access a limited number of systems in the company’s IT environment, compromising customers’ names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers. However, the carmaker’s investigation so far indicates that no payment information or details of Ferrari cars owned or ordered were stolen. Ferrari has not disclosed the number of customers affected or how or when the company was compromised. It is also unclear if the breach is linked to a previous incident in October when a ransomware group known as “RansomEXX” claimed to have breached the carmaker, which Ferrari denied at the time.
