Thankfully the only one I've had serviced there resides at the cottage, an address they don't have.

Does this impact everybody? I've bought a car there and serviced a few others for years. No notice in my inbox.

EDIT - I actually did get it - was in junk folder.

Would be good to know if this was a specific hack for PCO info or a general server attack on their providers network and it so happened that PCO info was stolen.

Also wonder if other Porsche dealers were impacted. Don't they all use the same dealer management software, where I presume this data was stored.

Will advise if anything reported by them.

Really bad stuff, now the criminals know your name, where you live, your VIN number, phone number, license plate number, email address.

Fortunately not blood type or credit card number....

lol im sure that would have been their first phone call...

So they can spin up the Porsche marketing team, the kings of spin. ..ie " an abundance of caution" means absolutely nothing but sounds good.

I'll ask them on Wed when I'm there for service. The rumor I heard was it was Policaro corporate that got hacked - not PCO specifically.

Got the e-mail....Kinda ironic that the e-mail info was hacked and they sent an e-mail.

It looks more likely that it was POLICARO hack in general.

I emailed the Oakville service manager and was assured that they would never order a key without an owner present.

Reassuring, except my M3 was stolen with just the info stolen because the dealer ordered a key (allegedly the dealer was scammed).....
