BACKGROUND:
Volkswagen has revealed a data breach impacting over 3.3 million customers. On Friday, the automaker said that a compilation of data used for sales and marketing purposes between 2014 and 2019 was left unsecured and exposed online “at some point” between August 2019 and May 2021, although the exact timeline has not been established. An associate vendor has been identified as the source of the breach but the company has not been named. Audi and Volkswagen were alerted that “an unauthorized third party” may have accessed this information on March 10.
