California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) said on Nov. 5 it had suffered a data breach that improperly disclosed private information to seven federal agencies on more than 3,000 licensed drivers.
During the last four years, the federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, had improper access to the Social Security information of around 3,200 people involved in some type of investigation as suspects or witnesses, officials said Tuesday.
