AU: CityCycle in privacy breach

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Dissent

Cameron Atfield reports:

Brisbane’s CityCycle bike hire scheme has been embroiled in a massive privacy breach, with the email addresses of all its subscribers distributed in an email this afternoon.

The addresses of 1306 CityCycle users were all included in the “to” field of an email sent to subscribers at 5.12pm today.

The email was sent to alert subscribers they would receive a month’s free subscription because of service disruptions during last month’s floods.
