Volkswagen's software unit Cariad exposed terabytes of customer data from around 800,000 electric vehicles, including precise location data for approximately 460,000 cars, for months. Security researchers revealed this leak, which affected vehicles across Europe, including Germany, Norway, and the UK. Cariad has since fixed the issue and claims no unauthorized access occurred. The unit has faced challenges with software delays and job cuts in recent years.
