Over 200,000 Customers of French Dealership Auto-ici Allegedly Exposed in Data Breach

A significant database, allegedly belonging to the French car agency and dealership Auto-ici, has reportedly surfaced for sale on a dark web forum. The post claims the database contains sensitive information pertaining to 202,864 customers of the French company. Auto-ici operates as a car agency and dealership within France, handling vehicle sales and related customer services.

The compromised data allegedly includes a wide array of personally identifiable information (PII). Samples provided by the seller indicate the following details are part of the dataset:

• Account ID
• Gender
• First name
• Maiden name
• Last name
• Phone numbers
• Email addresses
• Physical addresses (including postcode and city)

The availability of such comprehensive PII could expose affected Auto-ici customers to various risks, including identity theft, phishing campaigns, and other fraudulent activities. The data is reportedly being offered for sale, with the seller open to offers in cryptocurrency.
