A limousine software company that helps provide service to top celebrities has been hacked, revealing credit card details and potentially embarrassing records of exactly what happened in the back of the limo, The Associated Press reported.
CorporateCarOnline, which provides software services to limo rental companies used by politicians, actors, star athletes and corporate executives, was infiltrated by hackers about a month ago, the Daily Mail reported.
The software company holds records on more than 850,000 customers, including actor Tom Hanks and business mogul Donald Trump, The Washington Times reported. Milwaukee-based Hold Security discovered the breach and alerted CorporateCarOnline.
Company officials haven't named too many names, attempting to reduce panic, but the files include records from A-list celebrities, as well as, several members of Congress. The hacked software reportedly includes files detailing what happened in the rented limos, including sex, vomiting and smoking marijuana, according to the AP.
Alex Holden, the chief information security officer at Hold Security, said the software company confirmed the breach.
"The privacy implications of this are very disturbing," said Holden on Monday, The Daily Mail reported.
Blogger Brian Krebs, who works with Hold Security, reported the breach on his website. Some examples of potentially sensitive or embarrassing information include a trip that Hanks made to a Chicago restaurant; a partial travel itinerary for basketball star LeBron James; and a limo specification for clear front seating from Trump.
Krebs said he tried to contact CorporateCarOnline several times and finally reached the owner, Dan Leonard, who wouldn't give a response.
"It's understandable why the company would decline to comment," Krebs wrote.
The data taken from the software company in the unusual hacking job succeeded in procuring both financially and personally sensitive information.
"While the target is not a household name, it is, arguably, the highest socially impacting target yet," Holden said.
