A Volkswagen subsidiary stored sensitive data in a manner that made it easy for cybercriminals to steal the information of its owners across its Audi , Seat, Skoda , and VW brands.

The personal information of nearly 800,000 owners, including their names, email addresses and other important credentials, was left vulnerable.

While the average VW EV -owning Jack , Joe , and Jill were affected, the list of affected owners included the Hamburg police department, German politicians, and business executives.

Sens. Ron Wyden and Edward Markey called for an investigation into nine automakers, including Volkswagen .

A June 2024 report published by The New York Times found that apps , including family location service Life360, weather-tracking app MyRadar , and the location-based gas price app Gas Buddy , were found to provide data to Allstate subsidiary Arity.
