Toyota Motor Corporation disclosed a data breach on its cloud environment that exposed the car-location information of 2,150,000 customers for ten years

This incident exposed the information of customers who used the company's T-Connect G-Link, G-Link Lite, or G-BOOK services between January 2, 2012, and April 17, 2023.

T-Connect is Toyota's in-car smart service for voice assistance, customer service support, car status and management, and on-road emergency help.

The information exposed in the misconfigured database includes:

the in-vehicle GPS navigation terminal ID number,
the chassis number, and
vehicle location information with time data.
