Did someone hack Toyota PH again?

It’s only been a few days since Toyota Motor PH reported an "unintentional" data breach on their MyToyota app, but it looks like someone has broken through the brand’s security firewall again.

The Facebook page Deepweb Konek has recently posted an alleged data breach at Toyota Motor Philippines, as a forum user has claimed to have obtained a total of 66,241 records of customer information from multiple Toyota dealerships in the country.

According to the user, the data obtained includes information such as names, emails, and residential addresses of customers with the corresponding model, plate number, and chassis number of their Toyota vehicles.

We’ve already informed TMP about this and they said they will get back to us regarding the validity of the data breach in a statement.

For our readers who own a Toyota, it might be best to stay vigilant, be careful in sharing your personal information, and be wary of possible phishing attempts through texts, calls, or emails for the time being as Toyota verifies this incident.
