"The automaker - which owns brands including Chrysler, Jeep, and Peugeot - confirmed the data leak to Reuters, saying an unnamed third-party provider that supports its North American customer service had been pwned. The break-in exposed customer data, which Stellantis says was limited to names and email addresses, with no financial or sensitive information affected. The automaker said it immediately launched an investigation, notified law enforcement, and began contacting affected customers - warning them to be cautious of potential phishing attempts."
"Stellantis's disclosure lands while the auto industry is already on edge. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) confirmed earlier this month that it had been hit by a major cyberattack, which has since crippled global production and retail systems. Factories in the UK and abroad are expected to stay dark until at least September 24 while crews try to get core infrastructure back on its feet."
