Exploit: Ransomware
Risk to Business: Moderate: Nissan Motor Corporation has reportedly fallen victim to a cyberattack carried out by the Qilin ransomware group. The hackers claim to have stolen 4 TB of sensitive data from Nissan’s Creative Box design studio, including 3D models and design files for upcoming vehicles. According to details posted on Qilin’s dark web leak site, the cache contains internal reports, design documents, photographs, videos and financial records tied to future vehicle projects. The group has already published sample files to back its claims and is threatening a full release unless a ransom is paid, a move that could hand rival automakers access to Nissan’s unreleased designs. As of press time, Nissan had not issued a public statement regarding the incident.
