Exploit: Misconfiguration
Ford Motor Company: Automobile Manufacturer
Risk to Business: 2.033 = Severe A misconfigured instance of the Pega Infinity customer engagement system running on Ford’s servers is the culprit for a data breach this week that exposed client and employee information at Ford.

Risk to Individual: 2.371 = Severe The investigation is ongoing, but right now we know that some of the exposed assets contained sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII), and included customer and employee records, finance account numbers, Database names and tables, OAuth access tokens, Internal support tickets, User profiles within the organization, pulse actions, internal interfaces, search bar history and other details.
Customers Impacted: Unknown
