The Target: Toyota, a Japanese car manufacturer
The Take: Two cloud databases exposed Personally Identifiable Information including: physical address, name, phone number, email address, customer ID, vehicle registration number, and vehicle identification numbers.
The Vector: Several misconfigured cloud databases were left open and unsecured with no password, meaning anyone with an internet connection could have downloaded the data.
Securing access to databases through rigorous password hygiene is an essential component of security, and cloud databases are no exception. Furthermore, the data stolen in this attack can be used for crafting highly effective automotive-based phishing attacks. Regular security compliance reviews can help prevent these breaches.
