Hertz Global Holdings, owners of the world's largest rental-car company, said the FBI found a computer containing the names and Social Security numbers of most of Hertz's U.S. workers at the home of a former employee.
The computer also had information including titles and dates of hire of Hertz employees as late as 2002, the company said. Hertz is cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the matter, it said.
Affected Hertz employees will be contacted and given free credit monitoring for a fixed period of time. The former employee obtained the information as a part of his job while at Hertz, the company said.
