NASCAR confirms data breach after hackers ‘demanded $4m ransom’

NASCAR has confirmed it was the victim of a data breach after hackers demanded a $4million ransom following a ransomware attack.

The racing organization says it suffered the breach between March 31, 2025 and April 3, 2025.

Correspondence with multiple state regulators this week (including this example from New Hampshire) confirms the data breach, and says it does contain the names and social security numbers of some of its customers/fans.

It is not known exactly how many NASCAR customers are impacted by the breach, or the exact depth of data which was acquired by the hackers.

Medusa posted about the breach on its website and allegedly demanded a $4million ransom with a deadline of April 19. There is no confirmation of whether that ransom was paid by NASCAR.
