About 50,000 people who used a phone app to pay for parking meters in downtown Lancaster have been exposed to a data breach, according to the appâs creators.
No credit card information or data related to usersâ parking transaction history was accessed in the breach, ParkMobile, which powers the Park Lancaster app, said in a news release. Encrypted passwords were accessed, but not the encryption keys required to read them.
Park Lancaster, along with the regular ParkMobile app, is used by about 4,000 to 5,000 people every month to park in downtown Lancaster, according to Jeff Perkins, a spokesperson for the app. The app is used by both Lancaster residents and visitors.
