The data is neither consistent nor are the email addresses in particular known to Europcar. While Europcar suggested that this data was generated using generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT), other security researchers are of the opinion that no AI was at work here.

The attacker actually installed an artificial flight mode (after successfully using an exploit on the device). This changes the user interface so that the airplane mode symbol is displayed and the Internet connection to all apps is interrupted - except the application that the hacker wants to use. The technology has probably not yet been used by malicious...
