Data breach — Moderate

In January 2023, Autotrader suffered a data breach. 20,032 accounts were affected. The exposed data includes email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.

| Fact | Value |

| Incident dated | January 6, 2023 |
| Accounts affected | 20,032 |
| Sector | Retail |

## Exposed data

- Email address
- Phone number
- Postal address

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
