A hacking group known as ShinyHunters has released hundreds of thousands of files obtained from a Florida state database that contains vehicle and driver information. The group claimed they made the data public because the Florida government did not pay a ransom or comply with their demands. According to the hackers, they breached the database, known as DAVID, earlier in September. As evidence of the breach, they shared a screenshot that appeared to show a record linked to Jeffrey Epstein, a deceased sex offender who had a residence in the state. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) confirmed the breach in a recent statement. The hackers reportedly accessed the system after obtaining the credentials of a police officer, which were stored on a personal device. However, an agency spokesperson did not comment on the published data when contacted by TechCrunch on Wednesday. According to a copy of the stolen data reviewed by TechCrunch, the hackers obtained hundreds of thousands of vehicle ownership records. These records included the names and addresses of both buyers and sellers, along with vehicle identification numbers. A smaller number of files contained sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, non-U.S. passports, and immigration documents. However, the data did not appear to include driver's license images or personal photographs. This breach comes just months after a significant security incident at identity verification company IDScan, where hackers stole over 150 million images of driver's licenses. The recent Florida breach highlights ongoing concerns about the security of personal data held by government agencies and private companies, raising questions about how such information is protected and accessed.
