Nissan says thousands of customers exposed in Red Hat breach

Nissan disclosed that approximately 21,000 customers of its Fukuoka sales unit had personal information (full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and sales-related data) exposed after a September breach of Red Hat that stole hundreds of gigabytes from 28,000 private GitLab repositories; the Crimson Collective initially claimed the theft and ShinyHunters later posted samples for extortion. Nissan says no credit card or financial data were exposed and there is no evidence the leaked data has been misused, but the incident forms part of a wider supply-chain/security incident affecting multiple parties.
