In September 2021 the official Renault dealer network in Russia experienced a significant data breach. The incident involved the exposure of a database containing information about approximately 850,000 customers. The leaked data surfaced on specialized underground forums and included sensitive personal details used for marketing and sales. The breach likely occurred due to an insecure API or a vulnerability in the customer relationship management system used by the regional dealership network. This exposure posed a high risk of targeted phishing and social engineering attacks against car owners.
