Škoda Auto says it has identified a data breach affecting customers after attackers compromised its online shop. According to reporting, the incident involves a vulnerability in the ecommerce software that allows unauthenticated access to parts of the system. After gaining access, the attackers reportedly obtained customer personal information, though the company has not publicly disclosed the exact number of affected people. Škoda’s disclosure is described as a customer notification following the detection of unauthorized activity tied to the online shopping platform. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. The sources attribute the initial access to the ecommerce software flaw rather than to compromises of customer accounts. Škoda’s communications to customers indicate that their personal data may have been accessed or exposed as a result of the hack. The reports do not provide additional details on what specific data types were taken, what period the intrusion may have lasted, or whether any financial information was involved.
