Canadian Discount Car and Truck Rentals has been hit with a DarkSide ransomware attack where the hackers claim to have stolen 120GB of data.
Discount Car and Truck Rentals is a leading Canadian car and truck rental company with 300 locations throughout Canada. Enterprise Holdings’ Canadian subsidiary acquired the company in 2019.
This month, the car rental company suffered a cyberattack by the DarkSide ransomware gang that has disrupted the company's online rental services at discountcar.com.
"Discount Car and Truck Rentals was subject to a ransomware attack that impacted the Discount headquarters office. A fully-dedicated team isolated and contained the attack quickly. The team is working to investigate and restore service as quickly and safely as possible," Discount Car and Truck Rentals confirmed in a statement to BleepingComputer.
While the company restores services, visitors who try to book or manage a rental online are greeted with a message stating that the website is down due to technical issues and to call the listed number for assistance.
