• The attack happened on February 21, 2019
• Toyota revealed the issue on its official website on March 29, 2019,
• the breach potentially affected 3.1 million people
• Good thing was that the compromised server did not contain credit card details.

Lesson Learned: Since there are so few specifics about what happened surrounding Toyota’s cybersecurity breaches, it’s best for customers to be exceptionally vigilant regarding any communications from people claiming to be from Toyota or its subsidiaries. There’s no way to know for sure, but the hackers could use the customer data obtained in the Japanese breach to orchestrate phishing attempts.
