Hackers hit General Motors last month, and the company says certain customer personal information may have been compromised in the process.
GM noticed the cyberattack between April 11, 2022 and April 29, 2022, after suspicious logins to certain GM online accounts led to unauthorized redemptions of customer reward points for gift cards.
The company disabled the redemption feature, notified customers about the attack, and then required them to change passwords.
Fortunately, key personal information like date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license number, and credit card or bank account information was not compromised.
GM says the hackers may instead have gained access only to information such as “first and last name, personal email address, personal address, username and phone number for registered family members tied to your account, last known and saved favorite location information, your currently subscribed OnStar package (if applicable), family members’ avatars and photos (if uploaded), profile picture, search and destination information, reward card activity, and fraudulently redeemed reward points.”
The company believes criminals obtained customer login data outside of GM networks and re-used it to access GM accounts.
In the notice of data breach, GM said it reported the activity to law enforcement and continues to monitor account activity to protect its customers and personal information about them.
The company required all affected users to reset their passwords and strongly advised them not to use the same credentials across multiple sites or platforms, to remain vigilant for incidents of fraud and identity theft, and to frequently monitor account statements and credit reports.

Too bad it would have punished the rip off dealers that are charging over stickers !!!
Zero protection for its customers. Thanks for nothing!
Disable your OnStar module. You can simply take the daughter board off. This wil also stop prying government eyes. Get a low Social Credit score because you voted for the wrong guy or were on non approved websites and they can shut your car down. In China now but coming soon if we let these crazies continue to run our country.
