Hertz Says 2024 Hack Exposed Some Customers' Driver License and Credit Card Data

Hertz, one of the world's largest rental car companies, is warning its customers that a significant data breach may have compromised their sensitive information. The news comes as the company revealed on April 2 that an analysis of the incident had uncovered that some customers' personal data was exposed.

The hack, which occurred late last year, appears to have left behind a trail of vulnerable customer data, including birthdates, credit card numbers, and driver's license information. The extent of the breach is not yet fully clear, but Hertz has assured its customers that it is taking immediate action to address the issue.

"We take the security of our customers' personal information very seriously," said a spokesperson for Hertz in a statement. "Upon completion of the analysis, we have identified some potential customer data that may have been compromised during the incident."

The details of the breach are still emerging, but it is believed that the hack occurred sometime between January and March this year. Hertz has not specified which specific customers were affected or how many pieces of sensitive information were exposed.

As a result of the breach, Hertz is notifying its customers that they may have been impacted. The company is urging anyone who thinks their data may have been compromised to take immediate action to protect themselves.

"We are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of service and security," said the spokesperson. "If you believe your information may have been compromised, we encourage you to contact us immediately so that we can assist in protecting your personal data."

Hertz is also taking steps to prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future. The company has implemented additional security measures to safeguard its customers' sensitive information and has increased its monitoring of its systems to detect any potential threats.
