Automotive technology data breaches expose connected-vehicle telematics data, dealership customer records, financing and payment information, and employee personal details. As vehicles and dealerships rely more heavily on cloud-connected systems, over-the-air updates, and third-party software vendors, the attack surface for this industry has grown substantially in recent years. Common causes include ransomware attacks on dealership management systems, breaches at third-party finance or service providers, and unauthorized access to vehicle telematics platforms. These breaches can trigger identity theft, financial fraud, and privacy risks tied to vehicle location, driving behavior, or usage data being exposed to unauthorized parties. Affected individuals may include car buyers, service customers, dealership employees, and drivers whose vehicles report data to a manufacturer or third-party platform. This page tracks confirmed data breaches at automotive technology companies and dealerships, including what data was exposed, when the breach was discovered, which companies notified state or federal regulators, and what steps affected individuals can take next, including how to determine eligibility for a data breach claim.
