Avis Data Breach: Your Rental Info May Have Gone on an Unauthorized Road Trip
Avis confirms a customer data breach, with an unauthorized party swiping sensitive information. They’re now offering a year of credit monitoring to affected customers. Oh, and don’t forget to update your passwords and watch out for phishing scams. Because who doesn’t love a little extra excitement with their car rental?
Hot Take:
Looks like Avis rented out more than just cars this time—they’ve got a data breach on their hands, and it’s not part of their loyalty program. Maybe they should start offering cybersecurity courses along with their GPS rentals!

- Avis confirmed a data breach affecting customer information.
- The breach occurred between August 3 and August 6, discovered on August 5.
- Personally identifiable information (PII) was accessed, though specifics are unclear.
