A dark web seller posts a sample of Love Electric's driver data, showing 731 primary drivers and 268 extra names tied to quotes, and claims to have 877,000 full records for sale. The seller offers the data for $600 in cryptocurrency, saying the price is negotiable.

A seller on a data-breach forum claimed on August 26 to have obtained a database of Love Electric, a UK-based electric-vehicle salary sacrifice broker. The listing offered 877,000 driver records, including 731 primary drivers and 268 additional named drivers, tied to quote IDs and National Insurance numbers. While the authenticity of the full dataset remains unverified, a 999-row sample showed logical consistency, primary drivers had populated National Insurance flags, while additional drivers lacked them, matching expected business logic.

Love Electric Financial Services Limited (SC374952) administers EV salary sacrifice schemes and credit broking for UK employers, storing payroll-like data. The breach, if confirmed, exposes sensitive personal and financial details tied to its FCA-regulated operations. No technical vulnerability (e.g., CVE) was disclosed in the report.
