Car rental giant Sixt was hit by a weekend cyberattack causing business disruptions at customer care centers and select branches.
Sixt is a German-based vehicle rental, car sharing, and ride-hailing service provider operating about two thousand locations in over 105 countries.
Sixt announced today that they suffered a cyberattack on April 29th that forced them to restrict access to all IT systems, except for those crucial for continuing business like the main website and the apps.
"However, temporary disruptions, in particular in customer care centers and selective branches, are likely to occur in the short term." - Sixt.
For now, no further details about the type of cyberattack have been provided, and Sixt was limited to saying it continues its investigations with the help of internal and external experts.
Bleeping Computer has emailed Sixt with questions about the attack and will update this post if we receive a response.
