Volkswagen Data Leak Exposes Location of 800,000 Vehicles Across Europe
A significant data leak from Volkswagen's software unit Cariad has exposed terabytes of location data for around 800,000 electric vehicles, including Audi and Skoda models, across Europe. Security researchers reported that precise coordinates for over 460,000 cars were left vulnerable online for months. The data, some accurate to within centimeters, highlighted vehicles primarily located in Germany, Norway, and the UK. Cariad has since fixed the issue and claims no unauthorized access occurred. This incident adds to the challenges faced by the unit, which has struggled with delays and job cuts.
