The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-gun-owners-data-breached-after-state-unveils-firearms-portal\/\" title=\"California Gun Owner\u2019s Data Breached After State Unveils Firearms Portal\">data breach included names<\/a>, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and vehicle identification and registration numbers. This follows the announcement earlier this month that the vehicle data of 2.15 million users in Japan had been publicly available for a decade due to human error. Toyota is investigating the issue based on the laws and regulations of each country.<\/p>\n<h3>How the Incident Occurred<\/h3>\n<p>The issue arose due to a setting error in the cloud environment where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/toyota-says-some-customers-in-asia-oceania-face-risk-of-data-leak\/\" title=\"Toyota warns of data leak risk for customers in Asia and Oceania.\">automaker stored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bank-of-america-secretly-flagged-purchase-history-of-customers-and-sent-the-data-to-feds-after-capitol-riot\/\" title=\"Bank of America Secretly Flagged Purchase History of Customers and Sent the Data to Feds After Capitol Riot\">customer data<\/a> collected<\/a> by overseas dealers for handling and managing maintenance inspections of vehicles. Toyota is investigating the issue based on the laws and regulations of each country, a company spokesperson said. Only part of customers\u2019 information may have been externally accessible, the company said.<\/p>\n<h3>Toyota\u2019s Response<\/h3>\n<p>Toyota has implemented a system to monitor cloud configurations to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-gif-tiff-sparks-mandatory-anti-racism-training-at-cornell\/\" title=\"Kamala GIF Tiff Sparks Mandatory \u2018Anti-Racism\u2019 Training at Cornell\">prevent similar incidents<\/a> from happening in the future. The company is also investigating whether there were any third-party copies or use of its customer data and found no evidence of such use. Toyota said customer information \u201cmay have been potentially accessible externally\u201d but did not elaborate on how the information could have been accessed.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Customers<\/h3>\n<p>Toyota did not disclose how many customers were affected by the incident, in which countries they are located exactly, and whether customers of its luxury Lexus brand were affected. However, the company said that vehicle location and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dark-huntor-police-arrest-150-following-closure-of-dark-webs-largest-illegal-market\/\" title=\"'Dark HunTor:' Police Arrest 150 Following Closure of Dark Web's Largest Illegal Market\">credit card information<\/a> were not included in the incident.<\/p>\n<h3>Toyota Connected Corp<\/h3>\n<p>Through Connected, which is majority owned by the automaker, Toyota offers individual and business customers mobility solutions, such as a smart key function, a 24-hour operator, and location-based route guidance and traffic congestion information services.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota is taking this data breach seriously and is working to ensure that it does not happen again. The company has apologized for the incident and is committed to protecting its customers\u2019 data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota Motor Corp revealed that customer data in Oceania and Asia, except Japan, may have been publicly accessible from October 2016 to May 2023.
