To whom it may concern,
I and my colleagues from multiple European research institutes are
investigating personal data collection on popular websites. During our
study, we found that a third-party script from Yandex collects visitors’
passwords from your web form on
https://www.toyota.ru/apps/customerportal#/not....
We have reported the problem to Yandex, who then issued an update to fix
the problem. That means passwords on your website should not be
collected anymore.
If you still want to try to reproduce the issue, follow these steps: go
to https://www.toyota.ru/apps/customerportal#/not... and type a fake
password into the password box. Then press the Tab key to move to the
next field. This will trigger a request to Yandex that contains the
typed password as part of the POST data.
We would appreciate it if you could update us if you take any action to
address this issue. We plan to describe websites’ responses to our
disclosure in our academic paper, which is a collaboration between
researchers from law and computer science disciplines.
We would like to stress that we have not captured data of your visitors,
or any other user in our study.
Please feel free to reach out if you need any clarification or
additional information regarding our disclosure.
Kind regards
