Who Does the Breach Impact?

U-Haul has been working tirelessly to identify and notify the affected parties. They have been in the process of alerting any affected U-Haul users since September 9th, 2022. The affected consumers will only be those who signed a contract with the company between November 5th, 2021, and April 5th, 2022.

How Many Files Does the Breach Affect?

"After an in-depth analysis, our investigation determined on September 7th, 2022, the accessed information includes your name and driver's license or state identification number," U-Haul told affected customers.

While the credit or debit card information of the individuals was not on the hacked database, the hacker still had access to personally identifying information. This means that the affected individuals can still have things like credit cards opened, cars bought, houses rented, etc., all under their name.
