The Hertz Corporation, operating under its Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands, recently disclosed a data breach that took place on October 27, 2024. Individuals who may have had their personal information compromised began receiving notification letters around April 11, 2025, informing them of the incident.
While the specific details of how the breach occurred and what exact categories of data were involved have not been publicly specified, the company has confirmed that some customer information was exposed. If you received a notification letter from The Hertz Corporation, it means your personal data was part of this security incident.
It is critical for anyone who received a breach notification to take proactive steps to protect themselves. This includes carefully reviewing all financial statements and credit reports for any unusual or unauthorized activity. Placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit reports can also help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name without your knowledge.
Additionally, remain cautious of unexpected emails, text messages, or phone calls that request personal details. These could be phishing attempts from bad actors attempting to capitalize on the exposed information. It is also wise to update passwords for your online accounts, especially if you reused them across multiple services.
