Toyota admits location data breach affecting 2.15 million customers

Toyota has revealed that the locations of 2,150,000 million customers were exposed to potential hackers from November 6, 2013, to April 17, 2023. The data included the vehicle GPS and navigation terminal ID number, the chassis number, and the location and time data of the vehicle. This data came from Toyota’s Connected service, which offers maintenance reminders, entertainment streaming, and emergency assistance to owners. Users of Toyota Connected, G-Link, and G-Book may have been affected.

Toyota also said that video recordings taken outside the car could have been leaked. However, the company claims there is no evidence of data misuse, and no personal information was involved. Unless a potential bad actor knew the VIN (or chassis) number of a car, they wouldn’t have been able to use the data to track someone specifically. The data breach has been fixed, and the data is no longer accessible. Toyota has issued apology notices to affected customers and set up a call center for inquiries.

Burnham would add intelligence and voice interaction to Astro, the company's smart home robot. Burnham would use large language models and other advanced AI to understand and respond to the context of a household. The documents say that Burnham would remember what it saw and understood and engage in Q&A dialogues and actions based on it.

For example, Burnham could alert the owner if it found a stove or a faucet left on. It could call emergency services if it saw someone fall and need help. It could help locate keys, check windows, and monitor kids’ activities. These are things that existing smart home devices can do, but they need multiple steps and devices. Astro with Burnham would do them with one device.
