The VW Group stored sensitive information for 800,000 electric vehicles on a poorly secured Amazon cloud, exposing precise GPS coordinates and battery status for months.
In 466,000 cases, the location data was accurate enough to detail owners' daily habits, raising questions about consent and awareness of data collection.
The breach affected various brands including Audi, VW, Seat, and Skoda, highlighting that data leaks often stem from trusted companies rather than cybercriminals.
Victims include German politicians and police officers, suggesting that the compromised data could impact not just privacy but national security.
