Eurail Passengers Taken for a Ride

Eurail Passengers Taken for a Ride as Data Breach Spills Passports, Bank Details www.theregister.com/2026/01/1… Eurail has confirmed that customer information was stolen in a data breach, according to notification emails sent to affected users this week. The European travel company, also known as Interrail to EU residents, initially disclosed the incident on Jan. 10. Impacted customers — the total number of whom has not been disclosed — began receiving notification emails on Jan. 13. Eurail stated that customers who purchased a travel pass directly from Eurail or Interrail did not have visual copies of their passports stored on company systems. However, this was not the case for customers who received passes through the DiscoverEU program, an Erasmus-funded initiative that enables young travellers to explore the European Union by rail.
