NZ: Skim versus hack: Council still in the dark

Posted on November 26, 2009 by Dissent

Rob O’Neill reports:

Auckland City is referring all enquiries about how its carparking systems were compromised, leading to the reissue of thousands of credit cards, to Westpac, which is leading the investigation into the incident.

Spokesman Glyn Jones says the council “hasn’t been told conclusively” whether skimming or hacking were used to breach customer security. The banks are conducting the investigation into the incident, he says.

However, Jones says the council has had no indication from the banks that is the case.
