TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp said Friday that vehicle data of about 2.15 million users was left publicly available in Japan because of setting errors in the cloud environment for about a decade – from November 2013 to April 2023.
Leaked details could have included identification numbers for vehicle devices and the location of vehicles, but there have been no reports of malicious use, the company said.
