French Car Renting Service ‘UCAR’ Victimized by Ransomware Actors

[Bjyda]

• UCAR announced a successful cyberattack that had no impact on its operations whatsoever.
  
  
• From what can be deduced, the firm was hit by ransomware actors, so this may have a follow-up soon.
  
  
• If the hackers managed to exfiltrate client data, that would include very sensitive information.
  

‘UCAR,’ the French car rental platform that operates a network of over 150 agencies in mainland France and overseas territories, has announced the news about a cyber-attack that took place at the start of the year. The company stated that the investigation aimed to analyze the nature and impact of the attack is still underway, with the help of a forensic expert firm whom they contracted.

In the meantime, the services remain up and available for all clients, as the company has restored from a backup, which is the element that clearly indicates a ransomware attack.
