Europcar says someone likely used ChatGPT to promote a fake data breach


Someone posted what they claimed was customer data stolen from Europcar. But the data doesn't appear legitimate.

On Sunday, a user in a well-known hacking forum advertised what they claimed was a cache of stolen data from the rental car giant Europcar. The user claimed to have stolen the personal information of more than 48 million Europcar customers, and said they were “listening to offers” to sell the hacked data. Europcar spokesperson Vincent Vevaud told TechCrunch that the company investigated the alleged breach after a threat intelligence service alerted it to the forum advertisement.
