Toyota's Decade-Long Data Breach Exposes 2 Million Vehicle Users in Japan
Toyota Japan left millions of customers’ vehicle details on the public internet for a decade due to a cloud misconfiguration. The exposed data includes registered email addresses, vehicle-unique chassis and navigation terminal numbers, location of vehicles, and videos from the vehicle’s “drive recorder”. Toyota has apologized and will notify about 2.15 million customers whose personal and vehicle information were left exposed. The company has not seen any reports that the data was obtained or maliciously used.
