    Apologies…. if already posted.

    Didnt see anything. Not sure if it means japanese customers or toyota of japan. :crapstorm:

    from Reuters:


    Yesterday, Reuters reported that the vehicle data of millions of Toyota customers in Japan had been publicly available for a decade due to a simple technical error. The 2.15 million customers whose data was exposed make up nearly the entire customer base who have signed up for Toyota’s main cloud service platforms since 2012.


    A Toyota spokesperson told Reuters that the accidental leak may have exposed extremely sensitive data, including a vehicle’s location and identification number. The issue, which began in 2013, was due to a “cloud system” being set to public instead of private, the spokesperson said….

    Whoops.

    The article I read said, you had to be on one of the online in car services e.g., T-Connect. So the implication is if you don’t use any of the online, in car, services, no problems. YMMV

    Just remember that once you upload your data to the cloud it's no longer your data. It belongs to whoever owns the cloud server.

    You buying the ticket?
    I’ve always wanted to visit Japan.
    They can breach my data.
    They won’t keep it long. I’m not worth much.

    I heard T-Connect is an onboard app for connecting with T-girls in your area.
