Toyota recently confirmed that their company in the United States had been hacked, and 240GB of the company's employee and customer data had been stolen. The data is now apparently exposed on dark web forums and can be downloaded by anyone.
Hacker group ZeroSevenGroup took responsibility for the hacking attack, and said that the 240GB file contained company data, customers, sales contracts, company financial information, along with company IT details such as WiFi IDs and passwords etc. the company's internet network.
Toyota did not provide details on when and how the hack occurred, but confirmed that the leaked data had a creation date of December 25, 2022, and this gave them the impression that the data was stolen through a backup database that had security vulnerability issues.
They are also reportedly now identifying how the database had this serious vulnerability, and why up to 240GB of company data was stolen.
