Personal Data of Nearly Every Adult in Maine Stolen

[Uomo Senza Nome]

As if they haven't had enough problems lately.

An entire state's population just had its data stolen in a ransomware attack (msn.com)

This happened in LA this year when the DMV database was compromised. While it may not be 100% of the population it was 100% of the data of people who had state of LA driver's license and state ID cards...complete with the digital photo. Everything that is on and needed to get a Real ID.

Oregon was also hacked back in June. Some states like Virginia and California will straight up sell your PII so it could be out there without a hack even taking place.

This seems to very specifically targeted. Remember, two part authentication for access to your important stuff is never a bad idea. Checking important accounts weekly isn't a bad idea either.

Your state ID information is for sale. By giving my drivers license # to an insurance agent he was able to pull up my cars, driving record and address.

He did not have my ss # or my picture or the documents I used to get my real ID drivers license  which in my case was a US passport and a social security card.

That data however was a part of the LA compromised data and likely all of the other states whose data was stolen.

It really passes me off that I go to a huge effort to safeguard my data only to have it compromised by some slackjawed .gov worker. I have had my data compromised twice the first time through the IRS and the second time through a state DMV.
A bunch of dumbasses...who don't know if they winding thier asses or scratching thier watches

Sorry I will stop my rant now..

Kind of how I felt when DCSA was hacked and the Chinese snatched my whole life history. Not that there was much to talk about there, just completely voided any glimmer of trust I had in the us.gov.
