VW Group EV Telemetry Data Exposed Online

/ 1 min read

🔋⚠️ Volkswagen exposes sensitive data of electric vehicle owners. Volkswagen’s subsidiary Cariad has admitted to a significant data exposure incident, revealing telemetry data from approximately 800,000 electric vehicles, including VW, Seat, Audi, and Skoda models. The breach stemmed from poorly secured web subpages that allowed a whistleblower to access internal application data, including vehicle geolocation and owner details. Although the issue was promptly addressed and the data is no longer accessible, it highlights ongoing concerns about corporate data security practices. In related news, Tenable’s CEO Amit Yoran passed away, and a critical vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks’ software was reported, emphasizing the need for vigilance in cybersecurity.
