			===NissanConnect security vulnerability (2016)===
			In February 2016, security researcher Troy Hunt disclosed that the NissanConnect EV API had no authentication. The API identified vehicles using only the last five digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and requests were completely anonymous. Anyone with a smartphone could remotely activate climate control, view GPS logs, and monitor battery status on any of the approximately 200,000 affected Leaf and e-NV200 vehicles worldwide.<ref name="threatpost-hunt">{{Cite web \|last=Zorz \|first=Zeljka \|date=2016-02-26 \|title=Troy Hunt Explains Nissan Leaf Car Hack \|url=https://threatpost.com/total-recall-troy-hunt-breaks-down-his-nissan-hack/116497/ \|access-date=2026-03-25 \|website=Threatpost}}</ref>

			Hunt demonstrated the vulnerability by remotely activating the climate control on a colleague's car in the UK from his location in Australia. He had spent over a month attempting to notify Nissan before going public. Nissan took the app offline and didn't restore it for several months.<ref name="threatpost-hunt" />
