Over 2 million Toyota owners may be at risk of data leak, here's why

The data of 2.15 million Japanese users of Toyota's cloud service platforms since 2012 were publicly available for ten years due to human error, says Toyota. A spokesperson for the company said a mistake made by a person caused a problem that lasted from November 2013 to mid-April, exposing data including the location of vehicles and IDs. Toyota has had no indication the data was misused but plans to implement a comprehensive cloud settings auditing system, establish monitoring procedures and provide employee training. An official from Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission confirmed being informed about the incident.
