Florida says its DMV was hacked by ‘an international cybercriminal organization.’
As Ars Technica reports, Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says the hackers accessed its systems using a local law enforcement employee’s “compromised credentials.” The FLHSMV has started notifying victims about the breach, which could have exposed “driver licenses data, motor-vehicle information, document images, and other personal information.” [Link: Florida DMV hacked after police dept insecurely stored login info | https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/10/huge-dmv-data-breach-impacted-current-and-former-florida-residents/ | Ars Technica]
