The City Of Oceanside

"The city of Oceanside has shut down its online bill-paying system for utility customers while it investigates a possible data breach of customers’ account and credit card information.Twenty-five residents who recently paid their water, sewer or trash bills through the city’s online portal contacted the city on Aug. 13 to report unauthorized charges on the credit cards they used to set up their city accounts. To prevent any further problems, the city shut down the service immediately, said Jane McPherson, Oceanside’s financial services director.Utility customers who used the online service have been contacted and asked to check their credit cards and accounts if they used a card to pay one of their utility bills between July 1 and Aug. 13."
