Park ‘N Fly breached

-

Late last year, KrebsOnSec­urity wrote that two huge swaths of credit card numbers put up for sale in the cybercrime undergroun­d had likely been stolen from Atlanta-based Park ‘N Fly and from OneStopPar­king.com, competing airport parking services that lets customers reserve spots in advance of travel via Internet reservatio­n systems. This week, both companies confirmed that they had indeed suffered a breach.

In a statement released, the company acknowledg­ed that its site was hacked and leaking credit card data, but stopped short of saying how long the breach persisted or how many customers may have been affected.

The statement reads: “Park ‘N Fly has become aware of a security compromise involving payment card data processed through its e-commerce website. Park ‘N Fly has been working continuous­ly to understand the nature and scope of the incident, and has engaged third-party data forensics experts to assist with its investigat­ion. The data compromise has been contained. While the investigat­ion is ongoing, it has been determined that the security of some data from certain payment cards that were used to make reservatio­ns through Park ‘N Fly e-commerce website is at risk. The data potentiall­y at risk includes the card number, cardholder’s name and billing address, card expiration date, and CVV code. Other loyalty customer data potentiall­y at risk includes e-mail addresses, Park ‘N Fly passwords and telephone numbers.”
