Japanese automaker Toyota and its tech subsidiary Toyota Connected have been forced to issue an apology after discovering that a contractor had left source code relating to its T-Connect services publicly exposed on GitHub.

More than 300,000 drivers was registered for the service since July 2017, and that the potentially compromised data includes email addresses and customer management numbers. The incident came to Toyota’s attention on 15 September 2022.
