Ferrari hit by ransomware attack and customer details have been compromised.
Ferrari NV said it was hit by a ransomware attack that exposed information of the Italian sports car maker’s customers.
“Certain data relating to our clients was exposed, including names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers,” chief executive officer Benedetto Vigna said in a message to clients.
It was recently reported that Ferrari, the Italian luxury car manufacturer, has been the victim of a ransomware attack. The attack resulted in the encryption of the company’s data, with the hackers demanding a ransom for its release. Unfortunately, it appears that some customer information may have been compromised as a result of the attack.
This ransomware attack is the latest in a string of similar attacks on major companies, and the attackers have become increasingly sophisticated in their tactics. In this case, the hackers used a strain of ransomware called Conti, which is known for its ability to encrypt data quickly and efficiently. This means that the hackers were able to gain access to the company’s sensitive customer information, including names, addresses, and payment information.
Ferrari has said that they are working with law enforcement to investigate the attack and have implemented additional security measures to protect their customers’ data. They have also advised customers to change any passwords associated with their accounts, as well as to monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity.
It is unclear at this time how much customer information has been compromised, but Ferrari has said that it is taking the incident very seriously and will continue to work with authorities to ensure that all customer data is secure. This attack is yet another reminder of the importance of keeping data secure and of the dangers of ransomware attacks. Companies must remain vigilant and take the necessary steps to protect their customers and their data from such threats.
