According to Police Chief Jay Keeven, the security breach was discovered on April 25 and is believed to have happened in March. The city obtained a list of approximately 6,000 names, from their credit card processing firm Vendini, of individuals who they believe may be vulnerable. A letter has been issued to everyone who may be at risk. “We do not know yet the extent of the ‘compromise’. Our investigators are working with the credit card firm, their security operations and the vendors with whom the city has contracts,” the statement said. Keeven also stated that the there is no indication the breach included transactions for utility bills, municipal court fines, ambulance runs or any fees collected by the police department. The processing company is currently still working with federal authorities and trying to find out exactly what has been copied. Although credit card numbers, names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers may have been compromised, credit card security numbers, social security numbers and usernames and passwords are not in danger as they are not collected by Vendini. The city has been assured by Vendini that steps have been taken to prevent future intrusions into the system. No calls have been received in regards to any misused credit cards since the incident but Keeven wants people to be vigilant in monitoring their credit card records and if any notice suspicious charges to notify their credit card company and the police. Friends of the Wildey President Rich Walker, stated that the Friends of the Wildey receive donations from their website by credit card but because a different processing company is used those credit card numbers were not a part of the hacking. _______________________________________________ Dataloss-discuss Mailing List (dataloss-discuss () datalossdb org) Archived at http://seclists.org/dataloss/ Unsubscribe at http://lists.osvdb.org/mailman/listinfo/dataloss-discuss Supporters: Risk Based Security (http://www.riskbasedsecurity.com/) Risk Based Security equips organizations with security intelligence, risk management services and on-demand security solutions to establish customized risk-based programs to address information security and compliance challenges.
