Ferrari disclosed a data breach following a ransom demand received after attackers gained access to some of the company’s computer systems.

So far, Ferrari has yet to find any evidence that payment details, bank account numbers or other sensitive payment information has been accessed or stolen.

“Ferrari NV announces that Ferrari SpA, its wholly owned Italian subsidiary, was recently contacted by a malicious actor with a ransom demand linked to certain customer contact details,” the company said. said in a press release.

“Upon receipt of the ransom note, we immediately launched an investigation in conjunction with a leading global third-party cybersecurity company.”

No impact on Ferrari operations

Ferrari has taken steps to secure the compromised systems and says the attack had no impact on the company’s operations.

After discovering the breach, Ferrari also reported the attack to the relevant authorities and is working with a cybersecurity company to investigate the extent of the impact.

“As a policy, Ferrari will not be required to pay a ransom because paying such demands funds criminal activity and enables threat actors to perpetuate their attacks,” the company added.

“Instead, we felt the best course of action was to inform our customers and so we informed our customers of the potential data exposure and the nature of the incident.”
