Two weeks ago, Toyota said it exposed the data of more than two million customers to the internet for a decade. Today, the automotive giant said it recently discovered the data of another 260,000 car owners spilling from its systems.Toyota said in a statement that it identified another batch of exposed data that was “potentially accessible externally due to a misconfiguration” of its connected cloud service, which allows Toyota customers to get internet services in their vehicles, such as information about their vehicle, in-car entertainment and assistance in the event of a car accident or breakdown.The carmaker said it learned of the misconfiguration after conducting a wider investigation of its cloud environments after admitting earlier this month that customer data was accessible by anyone from the wider internet.
