Findlay Automotive Group

Findlay Automotive Group, also known as Findlay Auto Group, operates as an automotive dealership group in the United States. The organization's primary business involves the sale of vehicles through its dealership locations. In addition to vehicle sales, the group provides after‑sales service such as maintenance and repair work for the brands it represents. Its operations rely on IT systems to support sales and service activities. The group's dealerships serve retail customers seeking both purchasing and servicing options for automobiles. By maintaining a presence in multiple locations, Findlay Automotive Group offers consumers access to a range of automotive products and support services.

In June 2024, Findlay Automotive Group experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted its IT systems, severely limiting sales and service operations across its dealerships. The incident prompted the company to launch an investigation with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement while continuing limited operations with minimal staff. A class‑action lawsuit was subsequently filed alleging that the group failed to safeguard sensitive customer data, such as names, financial details, and Social Security numbers, potentially exposed during the attack. The lawsuit seeks deletion of compromised information, lifetime compensation for affected individuals, and enhanced security measures. As of the latest available information, the company has not confirmed which specific data were breached or notified all impacted parties.
