At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Toyota data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report states that the Toyota was compromised due to a cyber attack. The hacker group responsible for the cyber attack claims to have 240 gigabytes of data, which includes personal information that belongs to employees and customers. Toyota is still currently investigating this matter and hasn’t announced what information has been affected. Data breach letters will be sent out by Toyota informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
