Software engineer Tillie Kottmann learned of the leak and analyzed the data, which she shared with ZDNet.

Nissan has confirmed the incident, stating it is "aware of a claim regarding a reported improper disclosure of Nissan's confidential information and source code." The company has reportedly launched an investigation.
