Drivers’ names, dates of birth, contact and credit card information were revealed in the cyberattack, Hertz says
Hertz says it was subject to a cyberattack between October and December 2024. Some drivers' social security numbers were stolen, along with names and payment information. Hertz blames its vulnerability on software company Cleo, which supplies its file transfer system. Hertz rents out its fleet of cars and vans millions of times over every year, resulting in it amassing sensitive data for huge numbers of customers in America and around the globe.
