FL: Fasano fires printing company over registration error

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Dissent

As breaches go, it’s not a huge one, but it cost one company a customer. Laura Kinsler reports:

Tax Collector Mike Fasano has fired a printing contractor that mistakenly sent out nearly 2,000 auto vehicle registrations to Pasco County residents with the wrong personal information on them.

Fasano said the vendor, CASS Data and Mailing Services of Fort Walton Beach, was responsible for printing more than 30,000 tag renewal notices each month for his office.

“I inherited this company,” said Fasano, whom Gov. Rick Scott named tax collector last year following the death of Mike Olson. “From the time I was appointed, I was always concerned about having a third-party person printing these.”

Those concerns were validated this month when notices were sent to 1,921 residents that combined their personal information with other car owners. The glitch affected people who own at least two vehicles and have a birthday in May.

The notices included both taxpayers’ name and address, their birthdays, drivers license number and vehicle information. “There was no Social Security number or credit card information,” Fasano said. “We never ask for that.”
