Toyota reveals that vehicle data of 2.15 million users in Japan, including its luxury brand Lexus customers, had been publicly accessible for a decade due to human error.
The incident highlights the challenges faced by Toyota as it expands into vehicle connectivity and cloud-based data management for autonomous driving, prompting the company to enhance data handling measures.
Despite the data exposure, Toyota states that there have been no reports of malicious use, but it plans to introduce audit systems, continuous monitoring, and employee education to prevent similar incidents in the future.
