    Hi 

    I got an email from renault tonight saying there's been a cyber attack and my data has been taken. They cant say what has been taken but can included 

    First name & surname
    Date of birth
    Gender
    Phone number
    Email address
    Postal address
    Vehicle Identification Number
    Vehicle registration number


    I am now worried what had been taken and I am also a motability customer. I am worried they could use all this data to make fraud claims or even track or attack the car oe house. 

    Would i be able to get a different car thro8gh motab because of this? 



    There is a massive thread on a Renault facebook group. One thing that came out is only people effected are getting the email & many are not Motability customers.
    Various names have cropped up from dealers to 3rd parties who are used to connect to car for some services. As yet Renault will not confirm who it is.
