"Toyota Warns Customers of Data Breach Exposing Personal, Financial Info"

Toyota Financial Services (TFS) is warning customers it suffered a data breach, stating that sensitive personal and financial data was exposed in the attack.  Toyota Financial Services, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, is a global entity with a presence in 90% of the markets where Toyota sells its cars, providing auto financing to its customers.  Following a claim from the Medusa ransomware gang about successfully compromising the Japanese automaker's division, the company confirmed that it detected unauthorized access on some of its systems in Europe and Africa.  Toyota noted that the threat actors demanded a payment of $8,000,000 to delete the stolen data and gave them 10 days to respond to their blackmail.  Presumably, Toyota has not negotiated a ransom payment with the cybercriminals, and currently, all data has been leaked on Medusa's extortion portal on the dark web.
