About This Breach
In August 2019, Audi USA experienced a data breach caused by a vendor's failure to secure sensitive information, leaving it exposed online. The breach affected 2.7 million unique email addresses, along with names, phone numbers, physical addresses, and vehicle information such as VINs, makes, and models. Audi disclosed that for some customers, additional personal data, including driver's licenses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive details, were also compromised. This breach underscores the critical need for strict security protocols to protect customer data and prevent unauthorized access.
