LA: Bossier City shuts downs online water bill payment system over possible data breach

Posted on August 18, 2018 by Dissent

Nikki Henderson reports:

Some Bossier City water customers may have had their information compromised due to a possible breach of an online billing payment system.

The City of Bossier maintains a system that allows customers to pay their water bills online using a credit/debit card.

In the past few business days, a number of water customers have alerted the Bossier City to unauthorized charges on cards they used to pay their water bills.

These reports raised a concern that the online payment system may have been breached.

Is this more of the Click2Gov breach?  If so, why is the city first dealing with it now?
