Stellantis, the car-making giant behind Chrysler, Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and other brands, has confirmed a data breach involving customers’ personal information. In a statement published Sunday, Stellantis said it experienced a breach of a third-party service provider’s platform that supports its North American customer service operations.
The company stated that “contact information” was taken. However, a Stellantis spokesperson declined to answer questions about what specific types of customer data were stolen. The spokesperson also declined to say how many customers are being notified that their information was taken.
According to reports, the Stellantis data breach is linked to a hack of its Salesforce database. The ShinyHunters hacker group has taken credit for the breach, allegedly stealing 18 million customer records.
Stellantis is the latest in a list of hundreds of companies, including Cloudflare, Google, and Proofpoint, who had data stolen in a recent breach affecting Salesloft Drift. An even longer list of companies has had data stolen from their Salesforce instances.
This story has been updated with a response from Stellantis.
