Toyota Motor Corporation, the largest automaker in the world by sales, disclosed a data breach that exposed the car location information of 2,150,000 customers between November 6, 2013, and April 17, 2023. The data breach stemmed from human error, leading to a cloud system being set to public instead of private. Data exposed due to the decade-long data breach includes vehicle locations, vehicle identification numbers and chassis numbers by drivers who signed up for the T-Connect/G-Link/G-Link Lite/G-BOOK service. Possibly, videos taken outside the vehicle were also exposed between November 14, 2016 and April 4, 2023.
Toyota pointed out that the exposed information only impacted customer in Japan, and it cannot be used to identify the owners of the vehicles, and is unware of any abuse of the exposed data.
