This website provides a comprehensive overview of known cyberattacks on the automotive industry in 2024: car manufacturers, suppliers, car dealers, workshops, car rental companies, automobile clubs, and road infrastructure. Here you will find a chronological list with date, affected company or organization and location. Our information is based on official announcements from the companies as well as reports from newspapers and trade magazines. However, only a fraction of the incidents are ever published in the media, so the actual number of successful cyberattacks was much higher.

Notes

  • The statistics are based on the known incidents listed here.
  • Since only some of the cases become known, the evaluations are not representative.
  • Industries where incidents are immediately visible due to public access (e.g. healthcare) are more represented than others.
  • An incident may be assigned to multiple countries or industries. Also, a country cannot always be assigned. So the totals shown on the charts may be different.
  • The graphics marked in this way may be reused according to the license Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 / CC BY 4.0, also for commercial purposes (Attribution: KonBriefing Research).
