A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department data breach via its license system vendor exposed personal data for 3,087,721 hunting and fishing license customers. Although Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and financial info were not affected, threat actors may have accessed driver’s license details, passport numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, and residential addresses, creating phishing and social-engineering risks. The TPWD is updating safeguards with the vendor and offering one year of free credit monitoring; affected individuals should monitor credit reports, consider freezes or fraud alerts, and stay vigilant for scams.
