An apparatus and method for preventing the leakage of vehicle information in a normal communication environment by inserting fake communication data into vehicle communication traffic on a vehicle network. In the method for preventing leakage of vehicle information, a vehicle information leakage prevention apparatus connected to an in-vehicle module analyzes a vehicle communication protocol between the module and another module. It is determined whether encryption has been applied to the vehicle communication protocol, based on results of analysis of the vehicle communication protocol. A method of generating fake communication data is selected depending on whether encryption has been applied to the vehicle communication protocol. A fake communication data is generated depending on the selected method, and the generated fake communication data is transferred to a vehicle information leakage prevention apparatus connected to the other module.
