https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/local/communities/oxnard/2018/05/30/oxnard-officials-investigate-data-breach/658540002/ Oxnard city officials learned of a data breach last week that may have affected the personal data of utility customers in the city. On Friday, the city was contacted by a bank representative about fraudulent purchases being made with the cards people used to pay their utility bills using the city’s Click2Gov (Superion) online payment system. The issue was reported to law enforcement and the software vendor, which used a third-party forensic firm to conduct an investigation. The vendor later told the city a vulnerability in the software allowed an unauthorized person to access the computer used to process the credit card transactions. After two rounds of security patches, the city notified customers of the potential breach. Customers believed to be possibly affected by the data breach are those who used the Click2Gov payment system to pay their Oxnard utility bill between Saturday and Tuesday. Those who paid their bills over the phone during that time are unaffected by the breach because it is a separate software system. Customers are asked to review their payment card account statements for any unauthorized charges and to immediately report any to the card issuer.
