Recently, a threat actor on an underground forum posted an alleged data breach.
According to reports, the famous American company Harley-Davidson has been the victim of a data breach that has exposed thousands of sensitive information relating to its customers.
At this time we cannot confirm the veracity of the news, as the organization has not yet released any official press release on its website regarding the incident. Therefore, this article should be considered as an “intelligence source”.

According to the threat actor, the data breach would have taken place in December 2024 and would have exposed approximately 66,700 Harley-Davidson customer data records. The forum post states that the compromised information would include personal details such as names, addresses, emails, and other vehicle-related preferences.
A sample has been reported within the forum that shows a series of data presumably exfiltrated from the company’s IT infrastructure or from a third-party vendor.
The attack is attributed to a group identified by the name “888”, which has a good reputation within the criminal underground and is known for publishing high-profile breaches and is linked to the cyberniggers collective. At this time, no further details are available on the methodology used to conduct the attack or the nature of the vulnerability exploited.
Harley-Davidson is one of the world’s most iconic motorcycle manufacturers, founded in 1903 in the United States. The company has an estimated turnover of $5.5 billion and operates in several international markets, providing motorcycles, accessories and financial services to its customers.
With an extremely loyal customer base and a globally distributed dealer network, Harley-Davidson represents a high-value target for cybercriminals.
The alleged data release could have serious consequences for Harley-Davidson customers. Personal information such as names, addresses and preferences could be used for malicious purposes, including identity theft, financial fraud and targeted phishing campaigns . Additionally, the exposure of vehicle data could pose an additional risk to users’ personal security.
From a business perspective, a breach of this magnitude could damage a brand’s reputation, as well as generate potential regulatory fines if data protection lapses are found.
Although it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of this alleged breach at this time, it is essential for organizations to adopt advanced cybersecurity practices to prevent incidents of this type. It could also be assumed that the breach did not target the systems managed by the motorcycle giant, but by a third-party company, as we are often used to seeing in this last period, characterized as an attack on the supply chain.
As is our custom, we always leave room for a statement from the company, should they wish to provide us with updates on the matter. We will be happy to publish this information with a specific article highlighting the issue.
RHC Dark Lab will follow the developments of the situation to publish further news on the blog, if there are substantial updates. If there are people with knowledge of the facts who wish to provide information anonymously, they can use the encrypted email of the whistleblower.
