MTA Takes Action to Prevent Subway Stalking and Privacy Breaches

New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has disabled a feature on its website that allowed users to track subway riders by entering their credit card information. The MTA disabled the feature as part of its commitment to customer privacy and is currently evaluating alternative ways to serve customers who want access to their trip histories. The feature, which did not require a PIN or password, raised concerns about potential stalking and abuse.
