Event Rental Systems (ERS), a provider of customizable event rental software, recently disclosed a data breach that compromised the personal information of its customers. The breach occurred between October 2024 and October 2025, when unauthorized code was inserted into certain customer websites.

Event Rental Systems (ERS) Data Breach Investigation

On December 15, 2025, Event Rental Systems (ERS) revealed a security breach that affected its customers’ payment card information. Unauthorized code was inserted into customer websites to collect sensitive payment card data during online transactions. This code remained undetected for nearly a year, from October 2024 until October 2025, before it was discovered and removed.

ERS took immediate action to address the breach by working with a forensic firm to investigate the issue and identify how the malicious code operated. The company also notified law enforcement and the card brands about the breach. Importantly, ERS confirmed that no Social Security numbers, state identification numbers, or bank account information were compromised. However, payment card details—including card numbers, CVV, and expiration dates—were affected for some customers.

ERS has since strengthened its security measures to prevent similar breaches in the future and has made credit monitoring and identity restoration services available to those impacted by the incident. Affected individuals are encouraged to take advantage of these services to monitor for any unauthorized activity related to their personal information.
