smh.com.au

A data breach at Avis has exposed personal information of customers, including names, addresses, and credit card details. This incident highlights the risks associated with sharing sensitive data when renting cars, as companies often retain this information for legal and operational reasons. Car rental companies, like airlines, are frequent targets for cybercriminals due to the valuable data they hold. Customers have limited control over the information they must provide, which raises concerns about privacy and security. In related travel advice, experts suggest that travelers visiting Iguazu Falls should explore both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides for the best experience. For those planning trips to Spain and Portugal, guided tours may be more suitable for families with varying interests.
