In the US state of Louisiana, the data of each driver was compromised. This is how The Guardian writes about the consequences of a cyberattack using the MOVEit file transfer service, which affected a number of US federal agencies.
The head of the state, John Bel Edwards, said that hackers probably had the data of everyone who issued a driver's license, ID card or registered a car in the state of Louisiana. We are talking about 4.6 million residents of the state.
Hackers could gain access to the dates of birth, information about the height and eye color of drivers, registration dates of cars and other information. The total number of likely compromised records exceeds the number of state residents and is about 6 million.
The head of Louisiana noted that there is no data on the sale or use of information about local residents obtained by hackers. Residents were asked to change their passwords, prohibit opening new accounts in their own name, and take other security measures.
