NZTA Breach Results in Vehicle Theft, User Data Compromise Data compromise leads to targeted motor theft A privacy breach has leaked the details of 1000 people (estimate) in a Transport firm's database over the past year. According to the agency, the breach targeted 13 vehicles for theft. The problem was in the agency’s Motocheck system, which let users access information stored on the Motor Vehicle Register.  User account compromise led to unauthorized access According to the NZTA, it became aware of the attack in May 2025 when a customer complained, and also through the police as part of an investigation. NZTA found that illegal access happened from an ex-employee's account of Motocheck of Auckland Auto Collections LTD. The threat actor used the compromised account to access people’s personal information, such as names and addresses from the MVR.  "To date, we have determined that names and addresses of 951 people were accessed improperly over the 12 months to May 2025, and that at least 13 of these vehicles are suspected to have been targeted for theft," NZTA said in a statement.  NZTA assisting affected customers The agency contacted affected customers to assist them in the breach and updated them on measures that were taken to address the incident, and also offered support and assistance for their concerns.  "We have sincerely apologised to those affected for the inconvenience and distress caused by the breach," it said. NZTA is also assisting police in their investigations of the incident and the vehicles that were targeted for theft. NZTA also informed the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. The agency’s systems aim to protect people’s privacy. NZTA claims that "work is underway to improve the protection of personal information within our registers, with a priority to address risks of harm. This work will involve improvements across policy, contractual, operational, and digital aspects of register access.” A customer impacted by the incident was informed by the agency that their name and address were stolen last year. NZTA said that they “have been unable to confirm the reason why your name and address were accessed. If you feel that your safety is at risk, we encourage you to contact NZ Police directly."

The bikes on buses ban info has gone quiet. When are you going to do something #nzta ? And why has the press lost interest? And although when transport minister Simeon Brown was first asking for it to be sorted out, there's been silence from @nationalparty.bsky.social
