Florida DMV hacked as driver's license breach expands nationwide

Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says it is investigating a data breach, the second major incident this month involving driver’s license information after a breach at IDScan.net. Hackers claimed to have stolen millions of IDs; authorities say the attack was conducted by an international cybercriminal group and the breach has been contained, though it’s unclear how long access persisted. The FBI is investigating the IDScan.net breach, and experts note that AI-fueled cybercrime is increasing the risk to sensitive identity data across organizations.
