Unified Carrier Registration Plan Reports Data Breach

The Unified Carrier Registration Plan (UCR) has reported that the tax identification numbers of registrants may have been exposed during March due to a website vulnerability that existed in its online National Registration System.

The UCR is an independent interstate compact responsible for developing, implementing and administering the National Registration System, established by Congress in 2005. The program requires individuals and companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with a participating state and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet.
