In an official online notification, county officials have disclosed that an unauthorized party stole credit card information processed by the Click2Gov payment portal between Aug. 1, 2018 and Jan. 9, 2019. Exposed information includes customer names, credit card numbers and expiration dates.

In response to the incident, the county “isolated the Click2Gov system from public access to try to find what information had been compromised and whether the County’s system was still vulnerable,” the notification states.
According to the notification, Hanover County officials first learned of the breach from Gemini Advisory, a group that monitors Internet websites for exposed credit card information.

“For security and confidentiality reasons, we cannot disclose any information about our customers, their environments or their security, nor are we in a position to comment on any investigations,” the statement continued. “Meanwhile, we continue our efforts in helping our customers to swiftly resolve this matter.”
