Toyota: Car location data and videos of 2M customers exposed for ten years
"It is important to note that the exposed details do not constitute personally identifiable information, so it wouldn't be possible to use this data leak to track individuals unless the attacker knew the VIN (vehicle identification number) of their target's car."<p>Am I dumb or are they? If you know someones home address, then all you need is a geo lookup, and a filter which selects for cars parked near that address at 3AM over some time period. Which then gives you the VIN and the entire location history, right? Sure you might get more than one car if the someone lives in a city and uses street parking but its still going to reduce down to just a handful of cars which can then be cross referenced against place of work, relatives, etc.<p>And of course home address lookup can be made with any number of public databases with little more than a name and maybe some additional filtering (age, city, phone number, etc).
