TLDR:

• Avis, a car rental company, reported a cyberattack where customer data was exposed.
• The breach occurred between August 3 and August 6, with data being exfiltrated on August 14.

U.S.-based car rental company Avis recently disclosed a cyberattack where unauthorized individuals gained access to one of their business applications. The incident took place between August 3 and August 6, with data being exfiltrated on August 14. The stolen data included customer names and other sensitive information, although specific details were not provided by Avis. In response to the breach, Avis has worked with cybersecurity experts to enhance their security protections. They have also urged customers to monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and have offered complimentary identity theft prevention services. Earlier this year, Avis’s rival company Europcar faced a similar alleged data breach where threat actors claimed to have stolen customer data, but Europcar later confirmed that the breach was fake and likely AI-generated.
