AI Summary
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) confirmed a data breach of its DAVID driver database, which was accessed using compromised credentials from a Plant City Police Department employee's personal device. The ShinyHunters extortion group claimed responsibility, stating they exploited a password reset vulnerability to gain access to multiple accounts, including those of DMV employees and an FBI agent, then scraped driver records by iterating through record IDs. ShinyHunters provided a screenshot of a Jeffrey Epstein DAVID record as proof of compromise and later claimed they had lost access, likely due to patching. The breach impacted at least 200,000 driver records, though FLHSMV has not confirmed the exact number.
