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.
