Audi has been a majority owned (99.55%) subsidiary of Volkswagen Group since 1966, following a phased purchase of AUDI AG’s predecessor, Auto Union, from Daimler-Benz.[9] Volkswagen relaunched the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103 series.

The leaked data comes from the Audi Switzerland main official site which is a apart of the Audi Auto group (https://www.audi.ch) and was posted to facebook with a tag relating to cyberwarnews. xc0unt3r-audi-ch-breached-cyber-war-news-database-leaked The leaked data as you can see was uploaded to pastebin.com and contains well over 2000 accounts from users registered to the websites services. The credentials leaked contain full names, user names. email addresses and passwords which are encrypted and a total of 2832 have been leaked but 507 of them have duplicated emails leaving 2325 credentials. The duplication are most likely users who have registered and forgotten their login at some stage.
