Not yet quantified
AAttestedCartrack's ransomware incident in August 2026 reached the one database that mattered most: contact details, bank account information, and vehicle tracking data, all sitting together. Dire Wolf claims 500 gigabytes left the servers; the company has not said how the door was opened. A vehicle tracking firm concentrated banking data and real-time location in a single, reachable store. The notification to South Africa's regulator is still preliminary, which is a polite way of saying nobody yet knows the size of what got out.
