Fortune 500 automotive parts giant LKQ Corporation has confirmed it was hit by the Cl0p ransomware group's Oracle E-Business Suite hacking campaign. The breach compromised personal information of over 9,000 individuals, primarily sole proprietor suppliers whose data included Social Security numbers and Employer Identification Numbers.
LKQ discovered the attack on October 3 and completed its investigation on December 1. The company says there's no evidence the breach extended beyond its Oracle EBS environment. However, cybercriminals have allegedly leaked several terabytes of stolen files online.
This marks LKQ's second cyberattack in two years. The Cl0p group has targeted over 100 organizations through this Oracle campaign, with confirmed victims including Logitech, Canon, Cox, and Mazda.
