Phillips Auto Inc., an automotive dealership in Payette, Idaho, recently confirmed a data security incident, reporting it on April 28, 2025. This breach potentially compromised sensitive personal and financial data belonging to its customers.
The exposed information includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Driver's License Number, Mailing Address, Financial Account Number, Credit and Financing History, Phone Number, and Email Address.
