Information security is one of the most important aspects of many companies. Any company that needs user information must protect the information. There are several hackers all over the world. These hackers illegally collect user information. They probably sell information brands interested in information. Toyota has reason to believe that some of its customer's details may have been leaked. The company said it found exposed information on 296 customers. This information is what is available in the T-Connect service. The information includes email addresses and customer numbers.
According to reports, T-Connect is a telematics service that connects vehicles through a network. Affected customers are individual users who have registered on the service's website. In particular, these are users who registered by email since July 2017. The company claims that the information from December 2017 to September 15 of this year could have ended up in the wrong hands. Toyota is not directly responsible for the protection of information. The responsible contractor made some mistakes that turned out to be very expensive. The company mistakenly uploaded a part of the source code with a public configuration.
Confidential information remains safe
Regarding the error and possible leak, Toyota was supposed to release a statement today. Toyota's statement is based on an investigation by safety experts. The company says it cannot confirm whether third-party access has occurred from access history. He believes that the data server has not lost any data. However, it was open to the public, so it "cannot completely exclude" third-party access.
With all that, Toyota claims that the leak of confidential personal information is impossible. By confidential information, the company means user names, phone numbers or credit card information. Toyota has not confirmed whether the information was misused. However, it warns users that they may receive spam, phishing and e-mails.
Toyota знайшла розв’язання проблеми скидання коліс електричного позашляховика bZ4X
