Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) stated Wednesday that Oceana and Asia customer data, except Japan, may have been publicly accessible from October 2016 to May 2023.
The corporation disclosed names, phone numbers, email addresses, and car identification and registration numbers.
It disclosed this month that 2.15 million Japanese users, nearly the entire customer base who had joined up for its key cloud service platforms since 2012, had their automotive data publicly available for a decade due to human error.
The world’s largest manufacturer by sales said it found the latest issue when it investigated Toyota Connected Corp.’s cloud environments after the first incident.
“As we believe that this incident also was caused by insufficient dissemination and enforcement of data handling rules… we have implemented a system to monitor cloud configurations,” Toyota said.
Toyota is examining per country’s laws, according to a spokesman.
Toyota does not specify the number of affected users, nations, or Lexus customers.
The company said only certain client data was publicly available.
Toyota found no third-party use of customer data, vehicle location, or payment card information.
The official said the organization unexpectedly discovered the incident announced during April 7 checks.
