Japanese car‑sharing provider Times Car confirmed that a cyberattack disclosed late last week compromised approximately 6.6 million user accounts.
The company did not provide further details about the nature of the breach or the information that may have been accessed. Times Car’s statement was issued in response to growing concerns about data security in the rapidly expanding shared‑mobility sector.
Times Car is one of several car‑sharing services operating in Japan, offering users the ability to rent vehicles on a short‑term basis through a mobile app. The company’s announcement follows a series of high‑profile data‑breach incidents across the automotive and technology industries.
While the company has not yet announced any remedial measures or notified affected users, the scale of the breach—affecting more than six million accounts—underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity practices for firms handling large volumes of personal data.
