"Europcar Dismisses Data Leak Claims as AI Fake"

Europcar, a global car rental company, has denied claims of a data breach, arguing that the Europcar data posted online by threat actors was generated using ChatGPT, the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot. An advertisement on a popular data leak forum claims that attackers are selling the personal information of 50 million Europcar customers.

However, the company says this advertisement is false, and the sample data is likely ChatGPT-generated.
