A data leak at Volkswagen software subsidiary Cariad exposed personal data, including location data, of hundreds of thousands of electric vehicle owners, according to a report from Der Spiegel.
The leak was discovered by an unnamed whistleblower, who shared the vulnerability with the Chaos Computer Club (a European hacker association) and Der Spiegel. The outlet was then able to test that the leak is real by tracking the cars of German politicians Nadja Weippert and Markus Grübel, who agreed to have their data accessed by reporters.
