Renault has confirmed that customer details may have been exposed in a recent cyberattack on one of its third-party data providers.
The carmaker says this was an “isolated incident” and that no passwords or financial information were compromised. But the details taken — including names, addresses, phone numbers and vehicle registration data — could still be enough to put customers at risk of scams or identity fraud.
What’s happened so far
Renault says the data breach was quickly contained and that it’s now contacting affected customers directly. Manufacturing has not been disrupted, and the company’s own systems are believed to be secure.
The cyberattack comes just weeks after a similar incident at Jaguar Land Rover, suggesting that the automotive industry has become a key target for hackers.
What drivers should do
If you’ve bought a Renault or Dacia vehicle, entered a Renault competition, or shared your details with the brand, keep an eye out for unusual emails, calls or messages.
Be cautious of any contact claiming to be from Renault — especially if it asks for further personal details.
Whether it’s a leaked email address, stolen passwords, or worse, a data breach can leave you exposed to scams, ID fraud, and credit damage. But you’re not powerless. Our handy guide explores what you can do right now to protect yourself.
