- Zoomcar presented a new 8 k form with the sec confirming the cyber attack
- He learned about the attack of threat actors
- More than 8 million users could have stolen their personal data.
The Zoomcar car market has suffered a cyber attack in which it lost confidential information about millions of customers.
In a new 8-K form presented to the US stock and values commission. UU. (SEC), the company said it realized the attack of June 9, 2025, and a subsequent investigation determined that the threat actors managed to steal, “a limited data set that contained certain personal information of a sub-conjunction of approximately 8.4 million users.”
That includes the names of people, telephone numbers, car registration numbers, postal addresses and email addresses, but at this time, Zoomcar says he has no reason to believe that financial information, passwords or other sensitive identifiers are compromised.
No interruption
In response to the attack, the company activated its incident response plan and took “immediate measures” to contain the threat.
However, this was apparently too little late, since the company was aware of the incident by the threat actors themselves.
Zoomcar said that the computer pirates communicated with “certain employees” who claimed to have made the violation, which suggests that they had remained in the systems enough to exfilt any information they were looking for.
It was not explained why the attackers approached their victims, but it is safe to assume that they demanded payment in exchange for deleting stolen files. T
The writing of the presentation of 8 k suggests that Zoomcar did not pay any rescue. Instead, it implemented “additional safeguards” on the cloud network and the internal network, the increase in system monitoring and reviewed access controls.
In addition, he brought an expert in cybersecurity of third parties to obtain more help, and notified the regulators and the police about the incident.
“To date, the incident has not resulted in any material interruption in the company’s operations,” Zoomcar concluded.
However, the company continues to evaluate the scope and potential impacts of the event, including legal, financial and reputation considerations, as well as any associated remediation cost.
