Toyota Motor Corp. disclosed the discovery of yet another data breach, this time involving the leakage of 260,000 automobile owners' personal data over the course of two improperly setup cloud services.
After revealing earlier in the month that the data of 2.15 million customers was accessible to anyone online for more than 10 years, the automaker looked into the cloud features and made this revelation.
It should be assumed that all of this data was repeatedly hacked given how long it was available.
Information about customers, including names, contact information (including phone and email addresses), and vehicle identification numbers, may have been externally available.
