"PLAY Ransomware Gang Allegedly Attacks Arnold Clark Auto Dealership"

The PLAY ransomware group allegedly published sensitive personal information stolen from Arnold Clark, one of the largest vehicle dealerships in the UK. After detecting unusual network activity in December 2022, the company said it had taken action to protect client data but did not describe the nature of the hack. The company's statement has not yet been amended following the exposure of what appears to be client information on the extortion website of the PLAY ransomware gang. The data includes passport information and National Insurance numbers, in addition to addresses and phone numbers. The bank records and vehicle credit documents of the company's customers were also made public. It is suspected that both individual and business clients' information was compromised in the attack. According to Arnold Clark, which employs over 11,000 people across 193 dealerships in Britain, the attack temporarily disrupted its operations. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack on the Arnold Clark auto dealership and the PLAY ransomware gang claiming to have been behind the attack by releasing stolen data.
