Florida DMV Breached by a Stolen Police Login. 347K Trezor Users Phished

Yeah.

So the David system is basically when a police or government agency needs to look up a driver license, you know, photos, a license plate scanner, et cetera.

And we got two sides of the story.

So I don't know who we're going to want to believe, or maybe the truth is in between.

So the Florida's version is they're saying that a employee, a government employee, basically had their credentials saved on a personal device.

That personal device was the one where the bad guys were able to get in and they were able to then use that username and login to then be able to access the 200,000 records of driver license information.

Shiny Hunters, which we've talked about a lot on the show, They're the group that's claiming that, um, that they, they stole these records.

So that's, that's the state of Florida's version.

Shiny hunters.

They're saying, well, not, no, this was not the case.

We actually exploited a password reset weakness.

So we basically went to your David system or some system we did forgot password.

And there was some type of weakness there where from there they were able to log in and access the 200,000 records.

So not sure again who to believe, but, um, and as Brian, as you mentioned, as of, of, of proof of, of, of hack, if you want to call it that they did, uh, show Jeffrey Epstein's DMV DMV, his, uh, his name.

his address, his license number.

And the interesting part of this is that they gave the state of Florida until September 11, which was last Friday, to say, hey, we won't release this information if you pay up.

It's not necessarily a ransom, but we won't exploit this information.

sell this information if you don't pay up now one interesting thing about florida is it does have a policy that government agencies cannot uh basically negotiate with these uh ransomware groups uh but since friday it has been quiet there's nothing else that's been happening um as far as this news so we don't know if uh maybe they said you know what we're gonna just do this one time uh payment because you know we don't want these uh 200 000 floridian driver license out in the dark web and for sale.

But nevertheless, if you are a Florida resident or had a Florida ID, definitely freeze your credit, monitor your credit, and look out for any type of fake emails that may say you need to renew your license.

You may have a fake toll email or text with your driver license number or something that kind of makes it convincing.

that whatever whoever is contacting you has your information so it must be true so um we're going to continue to monitor this but florida did say that the hackers are no longer inside but there's no 100 confirmation as far as you know how they got in and so forth like that

Did you say if the state was gonna pay the ransom to keep the data from being released or not? Well, there's a law

that

says they are not, no

state agencies are allowed to pay ransom or any, you know, to any ransom groups.

Yeah.
