BNSF Railway employees report credit fraud

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Dissent

Jenny Michael reports that approximately 100 employees of BNSF Railway  have had their “nonpublic personal information” used to fraudulently open accounts in their names.

The railway’s response?

“At this time, we do not believe that BNSF’s information security processes or technology systems have been compromised,” the statement said. “BNSF is working with law enforcement agencies to fully investigate these reports.”
