A private database of parking ticket details for almost 10,000 motorists has been published online.
The firm reportedly responsible for the gaff is PaymyPCN.net, which collects driver penalty charges and has a direct link to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) database.
Safeguarding privacy?
The company allows drivers to pay for parking fines and appeal parking them through its website, and describes itself as a PCI DSS compliant payment processor dedicated to safeguarding motorists’ privacy with data encryption.
Sky News reported that PaymyPCN.net accidentally sent the data, meant only for use by police and licensed parking firms, to one of its customers who then published it on the Internet.
