Both Ferrari and their customers were targeted!
Ferrari announced on Monday that it had received a threat targeting the company’s customers. The cyber group demanded a certain amount of ransom, stating that they would reveal customer records, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. However, Ferrari denied this ransom demand.
Although the Italian brand does not give an exact number at the moment, it stated that it has contacted its customers under threat. It is not possible to estimate how large the event is, as there is no relevant number. However, judging by the actions taken by Ferrari, it seems that the event can be solved with simple measures before it gets too big. Of course, we have to state that there is no official statement yet.
Ferrari has released a teaser for its new model!
The new model that Ferrari fans have been eagerly waiting for was different to emerge. The brand has released a teaser for the new model and the countdown has begun.
Ferrari went on red alert the moment it received the ransom demand and threats. The company immediately reacted to find vulnerabilities and support computer systems. After signing an agreement with a cyber security company, the brand informed the judicial authorities with its lawyers. An investigation into the incident has been initiated.
After all these steps, Ferrari also made a statement. “Politially, Ferrari will not be held for ransom as such requests finance criminal activities and allow threat actors to continue their attacks,” the company senior management said in a statement. “Instead, we believed the best course of action was to inform our customers, and therefore we informed our customers of the potential data disclosure and the nature of the event.”
In this regard, Ferrari also stated that customer privacy is paramount, that they adequately grasp the seriousness of the issue and do what is necessary. The company stated that this situation had no operational impact. He stated that his customers can continue to shop and benefit from Ferrari services with confidence.
Ferrari has followed all the necessary steps for now. Threats will continue to come for a while. Ferrari did not respond to the ransom demands and stated that it would resolve the issue in the judicial authorities with the law. He also stated that all of his customers have a Ferrari guarantee.
