The investigation determined that Avis Rent A Car System LLC’s network was subject to unauthorized access beginning on August 3, 2024, and that certain files were acquired by an unknown actor while on the network. Affected consumers were not notified of the Avis Rent A Car System LLC data breach until September 5, 2024. Avis Rent A Car System LLC discovered that hackers were able to compromise a significant amount of personal information. The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details including:
- name,
- mailing addresses,
- email addresses,
- phone numbers,
- date of birth,
- credit card numbers and expiration dates, and
- driver’s license numbers
The Avis Rent A Car System LLC Data Breach Investigation
Avis Rent A Car System LLC informed the Maine State Attorney General’s office of the breach, where a copy of the consumer notification letter can be found. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Avis Rent A Car System LLC data breach, in previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received.
