Major car rental company Europcar has denied the claimed theft of data belonging to over 48 million of its customers being promoted in a hacking forum, noting that the information was fake and potentially generated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, reports TechCrunch. While the stolen cache of data was purported to include customers’ full names, birthdates, home addresses, and ZIP codes, as well as their usernames and passwords, Europcar noted inconsistencies in the number of allegedly exfiltrated records, as well as the inclusion of nonexistent home addresses and non-matching names and email addresses suspected to be created with ChatGPT.
