MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Nissan Canada Finance says it has been the victim of a data breach that may have involved the personal information of some customers who financed their vehicles through the automaker.

It says it is still investigating what personal information has been impacted, but that it became aware of the unauthorized access on Dec. 11.

The unauthorized access may have included customer names, addresses, vehicle makes and models, vehicle identification numbers, credit scores, loan amounts and monthly payments.
