U-Haul, an Arizona-based rental company, is notifying 67,000 customers of a data breach that compromised personal information. The breach, using legitimate credentials, accessed a system for tracking customer reservations. Although no payment data was breached, certain customer records were compromised. U-Haul is providing identity protection and advises affected customers to be vigilant for fraud.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
– U-Haul, a rental company based in Arizona, experienced a data breach late last year, affecting 67,000 customers.
– The breach occurred on Dec. 5 when an unauthorized actor used legitimate credentials to access a system used by U-Haul dealers and team members.
– The compromised records included name and driver license information of 136 individuals residing in Maine.
– The breach did not involve the payment system, so no card data was accessed.
– U-Haul has experienced similar breaches in the past and should consider implementing mandatory multifactor authentication for all accounts to enhance security.
– U-Haul is providing affected individuals with a complimentary one-year membership to Experian IdentityWorks and advising them to remain vigilant for fraud or identity theft by reviewing their records.
