Editing Talk:Volkswagen Car Location Data Exposure Incident

== Information Gaps and Needed Sources ==
{{Talk header}}

Hello contributors. As this is one of our first articles on the Consumer Protection Wiki, I wanted to highlight several areas where we need additional information and sources to strengthen this article's accuracy and completeness as we start to define proper wiki article format/structure/sources that should be added.

This was mostly generated as from transcripts provided to Claude Pro using Sonnet 3.5 which leaves it as a skeleton/placeholder and nowhere near a final iteration. In fact, we should create a template for AI-assisted initial drafts if this will be a common practice. Something like {{AI-Draft}} that could be standardized across articles.

=== Priority Information Needed ===

==== Incident Specifics ====
* Precise date of the incident
* Scope of exposed data
* Official Volkswagen statements
* Duration of exposure
* Discovery details

==== Regulatory & Legal Context ====
* NHTSA letter details and citations
* Applicable data protection laws
* Any resulting investigations
* Legal requirements for customer notification

==== Technical Documentation ====
* Details about AWS/Carad implementation
* Nature of the misconfiguration
* Industry standard security practices
* Technical safeguards typically used

==== Impact & Resolution ====
* How Volkswagen addressed the vulnerability
* Customer impact details
* Financial consequences
* Long-term security changes implemented

=== Red Links Added ===
Several key terms have been marked as redlinks in the main article to indicate needed sub-articles:
* CARIAD
* Automotive data privacy
* Right to Repair movement
* Vehicle telematics
* Connected car security

=== Collaboration Request ===
If any contributors have access to reliable sources covering these aspects, please help expand the article. Remember to follow our editorial guidelines regarding factual, non-accusatory tone and proper source citation.

=== Next Steps ===
# Add specific dates and timeline
# Include technical details with proper verification
# Document regulatory responses
# Expand the industry context section

Please add to this discussion if you identify other areas needing improvement or have suggestions for additional sections.
