Harley-Davidson is going through a challenging period, marked by a drop in stock prices, criticism of its CEO, and difficulties attracting younger customers.
The company, already under financial pressure due to high costs from LiveWire, is now dealing with a potential data breach that allegedly exposed information on around 66,700 customers, including names, addresses, and vehicle-related preferences.
The attack was claimed by the hacker group “888,” and according to sources like the website “RedHotCyber,” it reportedly took place in December 2024, with data likely extracted from the company’s IT infrastructure or a third-party supplier.
Although the breach has not yet been confirmed, it adds to a series of recent attacks on other companies in the automotive sector, such as Volkswagen. Harley-Davidson has not commented on the incident yet.
If confirmed, the breach could lead to serious consequences, such as identity theft, financial fraud, targeted phishing campaigns, and potential risks to customers’ personal security.
