Port Mann Bridge toll accounts breached
The company responsible for managing the Port Mann Bridge is issuing letters to 271 people whose toll accounts have been flagged for attention because they may have been viewed by an unauthorized employee.
“There is no evidence that personal information has been compromised,” Mike Proudfoot, chief executive officer for Transportation Investment Corp., said Sunday.
The accounts were accessed by a person at the Coquitlam call centre who did not have the required authorization.
“He was immediately fired and the matter turned over to the RCMP,'” said Proudfoot.
The 271 affected accounts were created or updated over the telephone by a single customer service representative. The integrity of the electronic tolling system was never at risk and accounts created online were not affected.
Proudfoot said TI Corp employees go through screenings and criminal background checks.
“This individual is not who he claimed to be when he was hired,” Proudfoot said.
