Nissan North America suffered a ransomware attack in November 2023 that exposed Social Security numbers of over 53,000 current and former employees. Hackers infiltrated the company's virtual private network and demanded payment, though Nissan hasn't disclosed whether they paid the ransom. The automaker notified law enforcement immediately and worked with cybersecurity experts to contain the threat. Employees learned about the breach during a December town hall meeting, a month after it occurred. While Social Security numbers were compromised, financial information remained secure. Nissan found no evidence the data was misused and is providing two years of free identity theft protection to affected workers. **Source:** [CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nissan-data-breach-cyberattack/)
