Moving and storage giant U-Haul International disclosed a data breach after a customer contract search tool was hacked to access customers' names and driver's license information.
As the company revealed notification letters sent to impacted individuals on Friday, it discovered on August 1, following an incident investigation, attackers accessed some customers' rental contracts between November 5, 2021, and April 5, 2022.
"After an in-depth analysis, our investigation determined on September 7, 2022, the accessed information includes your name and driver's license or state identification number," U-Haul told affected customers.
The attacker accessed the U-Haul rental contracts search portal after compromising two "Unique passwords."
"The investigation determined an unauthorized person accessed the customer contract search tool and some customer contracts," the moving giant added.
"None of our financial, payment processing or U-Haul email systems were involved; the access was limited to the customer contract search tool."
