Social Security and tax identification numbers for approximately 30,000 motor carriers may have been exposed due to a vulnerability on the Unified Carrier Registration Plan’s website, according to the plan’s website.

In a statement posted to the Plan’s website, UCR announces that a vulnerability in its online National Registration System “could have potentially exposed a UCR registrant’s tax ID number for a period of 28 days” in March.
The UCR’s statement on the data breach says there is “no further risk of tax ID number exposure” and no indication that a “mass export of tax ID numbers occurred” during the period in question.

She said she hopes the incident will prompt the board to more closely consider the impacts its policies and procedures have on the trucking industry “from all angles.”

“Hopefully from here on out the UCR Board and affiliates will take everyone’s perspective into consideration, and make sure a program is near flawless before implementing it,” Young said.
