Lamborghini, Ferrari, Fiat Group, VAG, Brembo And data from other automobile concerns Listed by everest Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Lamborghini, Ferrari, Fiat Group, VAG, Brembo And data from other automobile concerns Listed by everest Ransomware Group (reported May 26, 2022) is an unverified claim; the data involved is undisclosed belonging to roughly unknown people. If you have an account with them, your information may now be circulating on the open web and with data brokers. Here’s exactly what happened, how to check if you were affected, and what to do next.
What happened
The incident came to light when the organization appeared on the Everest ransomware leak site on May 26, 2022. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated. No further details on the timing of the intrusion, the volume of data, or the method of access have been disclosed.
Who is everest?
Everest is a ransomware group that has operated a leak site since at least 2020. Like other groups using similar tactics, it employs double-extortion methods: encrypting systems and threatening to publish stolen data if a ransom is not paid. The group has listed victims across multiple sectors on its site, though the accuracy of individual claims is not independently verified in public reporting.
About Lamborghini, Ferrari, Fiat Group, VAG, Brembo And data from other automobile concerns
The named entities are major participants in the global automotive industry. Lamborghini and Ferrari produce luxury and high-performance vehicles. Fiat Group, now part of Stellantis, manufactures mass-market passenger cars and commercial vehicles. VAG refers to Volkswagen AG, a large producer of passenger and commercial vehicles. Brembo supplies braking systems to multiple manufacturers. These organizations maintain extensive networks of suppliers, design facilities, and customer records.
What was likely exposed
The only data type identified in the listing is internal files exfiltrated during the ransomware attack. The precise contents of those files have not been disclosed. Organizations of this type routinely hold proprietary engineering documents, manufacturing specifications, supplier contracts, employee records, and customer information, but it is not confirmed whether any of these categories were taken in this case.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal automotive files can affect intellectual property and operational continuity. If employee or customer records were included, individuals could face risks of identity misuse or targeted fraud. The automotive sector’s interconnected supply chains mean that data from one participant can have downstream effects on partners and component suppliers.

Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
