Toyota suffered a data breach compromising sales information of almost 3.1 million customers

  • Hackers breached Toyota’s IT systems and gained unauthorized access to servers that contained sales information of almost 3.1 customers.
  • The accessed data belongs to several sales subsidiaries such as Toyota Tokyo Sales Holdings, Tokyo Tokyo Motor, Tokyo Toyopet, Toyota Tokyo Corolla, Nets Toyota Tokyo, Lexus Koishikawa Sales, Jamil Shoji (Lexus Nerima), and Toyota West Tokyo Corolla.

What is the issue – Japanese car manufacturing giant Toyota recently suffered a data breach compromising sales information of almost 3.1 million customers.

It should be noted that this is the second breach that Toyota has suffered in the last five weeks. The first breach impacted its Australia branch, while this incident impacted the company’s main branch in Japan.

What happened

Toyota revealed that hackers breached its IT systems and gained unauthorized access to servers that contained sales information of almost 3.1 customers. However, no financial information was stored in the server.

The accessed data belongs to several sales subsidiaries such as Toyota Tokyo Sales Holdings, Tokyo Tokyo Motor, Tokyo Toyopet, Toyota Tokyo Corolla, Nets Toyota Tokyo, Lexus Koishikawa Sales, Jamil Shoji (Lexus Nerima), and Toyota West Tokyo Corolla.

What actions were taken?

  • The car manufacturing company is conducting investigations on the incident.
  • Toyota is planning to implement information security measures in order to avoid such incidents from happening in the future.

“We apologize to everyone who has been using Toyota and Lexus vehicles for the great concern. We take this situation seriously, and will thoroughly implement information security measures at dealers and the entire Toyota Group,” a Toyota spokesperson told the press.

Worth noting – On the same day that Toyota Japan announced its data breach, Toyota Vietnam also disclosed a similar cyber-security incident. However, details on the incident remain unclear.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
