Autovista Hit by Ransomware Attack Disrupting European and Australian Operations Autovista, a London-based automotive data and analytics provider, has confirmed a ransomware attack disrupting its systems across Europe and Australia. The company disclosed the incident on Wednesday, stating that it has engaged external experts to contain and investigate the breach. The attack has impacted Autovista’s suite of applications, including tools for monitoring vehicle residual values, market trends, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analytics. These services serve manufacturers, dealers, insurers, telematics firms, and professional services companies. While the company’s website remains operational, some customer-facing systems are experiencing outages, and email access for certain staff has been restricted. Autovista has not yet determined the attack’s root cause but is working with third-party specialists to assess the breach. The company has provided an alternative contact email for urgent customer inquiries and is directing users to its website for updates. No ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Acquired by JD Power in 2024, Autovista Group operates multiple brands including Eurotax, Glass’s, Rødboka, and Schwacke all of which have linked to the same security advisory on Autovista’s site. Anonymous sources report that some organizations have advised employees to block Autovista-related emails, sanitize files, and remove associated executables as a precaution. The full extent of the disruption and recovery timeline remains unclear.
