    Detailed summary

    In June 2026, Nissan North America reported a data breach resulting from unauthorized access to its Oracle PeopleSoft software, which manages employee information. A sample notification letter sent to current and former employees indicates that contact information, banking information, Social Security/Social Insurance/National Identification numbers, financial/tax data, and dependent/beneficiary information may have been compromised. Nissan stated that it was notified it was among a group of companies targeted in a cyberattack on Oracle PeopleSoft.

    As of June 28, 2026, the exact number of affected individuals has not been confirmed, and Nissan has stated it will notify individuals whose information is found to be exposed as the investigation progresses. No official count of affected individuals has been released, and no State Attorney General filings have been publicly reported. The incident is considered a vendor breach as it stems from unauthorized access to Oracle PeopleSoft, a third-party software.

    Details about the full impact and any further affected data types may emerge as the investigation continues. Consumers may experience delayed notification due to the ongoing nature of the assessment.
