18,000 Nissan Customers Affected by Data Breach at Third-Party Software Developer

Nissan recently announced that 18,000 of its U.S. customers have been affected by a data breach involving a third-party software developer. The breach was initially discovered by Nissan in January and affected customers who purchased or leased vehicles from Nissan or Infiniti dealerships between August and December 2018. The company said that the personal information of customers including names, addresses, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers and vehicle identification numbers have been compromised. Nissan said that the breach occurred due to a security vulnerability in the software used by a third-party software developer. As soon as the breach was discovered, Nissan took immediate steps to shut down the affected system and notified government entities, the general public and affected customers. Nissan is offering one year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to impacted customers. The company has set up a dedicated website, where customers can access more information about the breach. In a statement, Nissan said: “We apologize for any inconvenience this incident may cause and want to remind customers of our commitment to the privacy and security of their information. We take seriously our obligation to protect customer information and are taking additional measures to prevent this type of incident from happening in the future.” Data breaches have become increasingly common in the past few years, with large companies such as Facebook and British Airways being affected by hacker attacks. It is important for organizations to ensure that their systems are properly protected to reduce the risk of such incidents occurring. With the number of data breaches increasing, companies need to take these issues seriously and ensure that their customers’ data is protected.
