Personal Data In Cars Is Also Not Safe?

Gadgets have become an integral part of our lives and technology has also increased. However, the rise in technology has also raised severe safety concerns. We have seen how a few Chinese apps fell under the scanner of data threat. Nations like India and others banned Chinese apps citing data theft.

Smartphones and smartwatches are used by one and all now. However, the massive growth in usage raised many concerns that the gadgets might gather users' data. Now, a new study has come out which says that even the cars are gathering the data of users.

California-based Mozilla carried out a sensational study on the care companies' data privacy of the users. The outcome of the survey was spine-chilling as the majority of car companies are reportedly gathering private data. Two dozen car companies were studied to prepare the report.

It is known that the majority of car brands use technology like self-drive and others. When the company surveyed them none of them met the safety standards. Their technology is not only unsafe for hacking but the companies are also selling the data.

The company alleged that many companies are gathering the data while some of them are selling the same. More than 80 percent of cars either sold or shared the personal data of the users, the firm said.

Not only that, the devices like mobiles, tabs, and others that are connected to the cars are also not safe as the data from them are also hacked. What's even more concerning is that the sexual activity and sex life activities data are also gathered.
