Received an email earlier today from Digital Charging Solution (DCS) in Germany. They provide the backend for BMW Charging.

They are reporting that their systems appear to have had some sort of security breach with customer details stolen. No payment data has, or appears to have been obtained as that is not held by them.

Anyone else seen this?

In 2025, I believe that it is safe to say that our personal data is not secure, no matter what company has it, large or small.

In the US, for sure, probably true everywhere else, too.

Some hackers have the mindset that the harder it is to get into a system, the more enticing it is.

The targets are not helping by hoarding more and more of our data, even when it isn't needed.

There will always be bad actors, willing to exploit the worst ways to combine these factors, and with global connectivity, government is limited in what it can do.
