This code included an access key to the data server that hosted the e-mail addresses and customer management numbers of T-Connect users. The publicly available source code was found on September 15<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">th<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">, 2022, at which time Toyota changed the access key.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Toyota customers affected by this data breach include T-Connect users who registered their email on the Toyota T-Connect site since July 2017.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">According to Toyota\u2019s announcement and apology no other personal information such as customer names, phone numbers, and credit cards were affected. (Note that this announcement was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/company.toyotaconnected.co.jp\/news\/press\/2022\/1007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">published in Japanese\u2014you can use your browser to translate<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The company further could not confirm whether this information was in fact accessed. However, the company could not deny the possibility that it was at some point during that five-year period.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Toyota said that it will individually send an apology and notification to the registered email address of any customer whose information may have been leaked.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019m a Toyota owner. What should I do about the Toyota T-Connect data leak?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Any time a data breach occurs, it means that your personal information could end up in the hands of a bad actor. Different pieces of personal information can be more useful to them than others. Some are directly useful, such as a Social Security Number or credit card information because they uniquely identify you. Others are indirectly helpful, like device IDs, browsing history, geolocation information, and internet protocol addresses. On their own, such information will not uniquely identify you. Yet with enough indirect information, and in the right combination, a bad actor could use them to piece together your identity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In light of this, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself in the aftermath of a data breach, which involves a combination of preventative steps and some monitoring on your part.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keep an eye out for phishing attacks<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Given that email addresses may have been compromised, Toyota specifically warned its customers about the possibility of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/tips-tricks\/what-is-phishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">phishing attacks<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and other unsolicited emails that may contain malware or links to malicious sites. While it\u2019s always wise to keep a skeptical eye open for unsolicited messages that ask you for information or that contain attachments you weren\u2019t expecting, it\u2019s particularly important after breaches. If you receive such emails, delete them, and don\u2019t click on any links or attachments.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also note that bad actors may launch phishing attacks where they pose as Toyota, all with the aim to steal personal information. Such emails can clearly look like a scam, such as when they include typos, grammatical errors, or sloppy graphics. Others can look far more sophisticated, almost like a legitimate email. Learning how to tell the two apart can take a little skill, and you can check out this quick read so you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/internet-security\/protect-yourself-against-phishing-scams-with-these-security-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">spot and protect yourself from phishing scams<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Consider using comprehensive online protection<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-us\/products\/mcafee-plus-ultimate.html?path=blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">A\u202fcomplete suite of online protection software can offer layers of extra security<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. In addition to more private and secure time online with a VPN, identity monitoring, and password management, it includes web browser protection that can block malicious and suspicious links that could lead you down the road to malware or a phishing scam\u2014which antivirus protection can\u2019t do alone. Additionally, we offer $1M identity theft coverage and support from a recovery pro, just in case.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Change your passwords and use a password manager<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As far as passwords go, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/consumer\/strong-password-ideas-to-keep-your-information-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">strong and unique passwords are best<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, which means never reusing your passwords across different sites and platforms.\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/learn\/password-manager?path=blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Using a password manager<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fwill help you keep on top of it all, while also storing your passwords securely.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Moreover, changing your passwords regularly may make a stolen password worthless because it\u2019s out of date.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because so many accounts use an email address as the username, and because email addresses were exposed in the Toyota leak, updating your passwords across your accounts can provide an extra level of protection.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enable two-factor authentication<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While a strong and unique password is a good first line of defense, enabling two-factor authentication across your accounts will help your cause by providing an added layer of security. It\u2019s increasingly common to see nowadays, where banks and all manner of online services will only allow access to your accounts after you\u2019ve provided a one-time passcode sent to your email or smartphone. If your accounts support two-factor authentication, enable it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Consider using identity monitoring<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/learn\/identity-monitoring?path=blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">An identity monitoring service<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can monitor everything from email addresses to IDs and phone numbers for signs of breaches so you can take action to secure your accounts before they\u2019re used for identity theft.\u200b Personal information harvested from data breaches can end up on dark web marketplaces where it\u2019s bought by other bad actors so they can launch their own attacks. McAfee\u2019s monitors the dark web for your personal info and provides early alerts if your data is found on there, an average of 10 months ahead of similar services.\u200b We also provide guidance to help you act if your information is found.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Clean up your personal data online<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As mentioned earlier, information stolen in a data breach may indirectly identify you. Yet when pieced together with other information, it can then directly identify you. Cad actors can complete this identity picture puzzle with information provided by data brokers that buy and sell personal information online. However, you can take some control over this. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-us\/identity-theft\/protection.html#:~:text=Personal%20Data%20Clean%20Up?path=blogs\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our <\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">Personal Data Cleanup service scans high-risk data broker sites for your personal information<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and then helps you remove it\u2014which denies bad actors the information they may need to commit identity theft.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Staying Safe in the Wake of the Toyota Data Leak<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your personal information gets caught up in a data leak or breach, take the steps to protect yourself. Should that information get into the hands of bad actors, it could lead to follow-on attacks such as phishing attempts, account hacks, and, in extreme cases, identity crime.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Further, as in the case of Toyota, it can take months or even years for companies to discover leaks and breaches. From there, it can take yet longer before a company announces the leak or breach. Together, that leaves bad actors with plenty of opportunity to commit all kinds of identity crime in the meantime.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because of this, taking preventative steps to secure and monitor your identity can help protect you from harm\u2014even if your information wasn\u2019t involved in an attack. With data leaks and breaches of all sizes now commonplace, a proactive stance offers far better protection than reactionary measures taken after the fact.<\/span><span
