This reminds me of the privacy concerns surrounding printers/copiers, which can hold onto sensitive data after you or your organization are done using them [1].

This also begs the question of how secure these "infotainment" systems are in the first place. Physical access to individual cars' data histories is relatively limited, but if these connected machines are remotely accessible then the resulting attack surface might be scary.

Cars are already beginning to be connected to the internet. Just wait a few years; they'll fall victim to the IoT epidemic soon enough.
- maxerickson 10y agoYeah, the Jeep hack last year (https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/ https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-hig... ) got into the infotainment system over the cellular network. They've made the network side of the attack a lot harder than it used to be, the vehicles are no longer visible to anyone with a Sprint cell phone.
