Volkswagen Group's Cariad subsidiary suffers data leak exposing location data of 800,000 electric vehicles
A data leak at Cariad, Volkswagen Group's software development subsidiary, exposed terabytes of location data from approximately 800,000 electric vehicles across VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat brands. The leak was attributed to a 'misconfiguration' on Amazon AWS cloud and was reported on December 27, 2024, after being discovered by an anonymous whistleblower who contacted the German Chaos Computer Club (CCC) and Der Spiegel. The data collection has since been secured.
