AUTOSUR Data Breach

What happened

In March 2025, the French vehicle inspection company AUTOSUR suffered a data breach exposing over 10M customer records, though only 487k unique email addresses were present. The compromised data included names, phone numbers, physical addresses, and vehicle details such as make and model, VIN, and registration plate. AUTOSUR later issued a disclosure notice with further details.

• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
