Toyota Financial Services has confirmed that it detected unauthorized access on some of its systems in Europe and Africa after Medusa ransomware claimed an attack on the company.
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.
Earlier today, the Medusa ransomware gang listed TFS to its data leak site on the dark web, demanding a payment of $8,000,000 to delete data allegedly stolen from the Japanese company.
While Toyota Finance did not confirm if data was stolen in the attack, the threat actors claim to have exfiltrated files and threaten with a data leak if a ransom is not paid.
