    Tesla Data Breach Leaks Personal Information of 75,000 Customers

    n-img-tesla-data

    Confidential data of approximately 75,735 people, including names, cell phone numbers, and addresses, as well as the complaints consumers submitted about their cars, were exposed due to a data breach at Tesla. 

    According to Tesla, the data breach is caused by “insider wrongdoing.” This massive data breach disclosed an array of customers’ information and complaints submitted in relation to cars. Maine’s attorney general issued a notice on Aug 18, stating nine victims of this breach are from Maine and are current or former Tesla employees. The notice also includes a copy of the letter sent by Tesla to all people who are affected by the data breach. 

    Additionally, the notice revealed “ that two former Tesla employees misappropriated the information in violation of Tesla’s IT security and data protection policies and shared it with the media outlet.”  In the notice, they also clear that the carmaker also filed a complaint against these employees and acquired a court order to seize all the devices which have company information. Tesla says, “It also obtained court orders prohibiting former employees from further use, access, or dissemination of the data, subject to criminal penalties. Tesla cooperated with law enforcement and external forensics experts and will continue to take appropriate steps as necessary.”

    Insiders previously reported that the leaked Tesla files contained 100 gigabytes of data, including employees’ personal information and  24,000 customer complaints about the breaking issue and other car problems.

    Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, revealed they are all set to invest $1b to create their own computer system named “Dojo”. Dojo is being developed to enhance Tesla’s cutting-edge system and train its machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models. Its ultimate goal is to support fully autonomous driving and secure its ecosystem.
