B.C.: Security breach triggers warning to some toll bridge users

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Dissent

Jeff Nagel reports:

More than 270 drivers who have just registered for the new Port Mann Bridge tolling system are being warned a privacy breach may have compromised their accounts.

An unauthorized employee who got the job in the Coquitlam service centre under false pretences and took the registrations of affected drivers by phone was fired Friday and is under investigation by the RCMP, Transportation Investment Corp. CEO Mike Proudfoot said.

“This person was not who he claimed to be when he was hired,” Proudfoot said.
