Japanese carmaker Nissan has reported a cybersecurity incident involving its systems in Australia and New Zealand.
This warning may indicate that the company suspects a data breach has occurred.
Recorded Future News reached out to the company to get more details but hasn't received a response yet.
In January, Nissan warned thousands of its customers of its finance division about the potential leak of personal information through a third-party vendor.
Data from car companies and car insurance providers is typically in high demand among cybercriminals, with multiple threat actors and groups leaking stolen data on the dark web.
Earlier in November, another Japanese carmaker, Toyota, also suffered a cyberattack that targeted its European and African financial services department.
In September, nearly 15,000 accounts were raided at several large automakers' websites to harvest important information about thousands of individual vehicles.
