Toyota left car code exposed for years
 

User data compromised

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.

T-Connect is a suite of connected vehicle services offered to Toyota drivers that enables them to perform multiple actions from their smartphones, including planning journeys, locating vehicles, viewing driving analytics, scheduling services and maintenance, and obtaining accident assistance.

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.
