佛罗里达州车管局数据泄露:本周起寄信通知受影响居民 提供一年免费信用监控

佛罗里达州公路安全与机动车管理局(FLHSMV)本周开始向可能受数据泄露影响的居民寄出通知信。
该局10月16日发布的官方公告称,一名恶意行为人于9月4日使用被窃取的登录凭证访问了该局部分档案,局方随即采取措施封堵访问并加固系统,目前正与佛罗里达州数字服务局和州执法局联合调查。调查确认,可能受影响的信息包括驾驶执照与机动车数据,含证件影像及其他个人信息;截至公告发布时,尚无证据显示信息已被滥用。受影响记录的总数官方尚未公布。
局方已与 TransUnion 旗下 Sontiq 公司合作,为受影响者提供为期一年的免费身份与信用监控服务及100万美元身份盗窃保险。由于该局可能没有已不再持有有效佛州驾照或身份证、或曾在佛州登记车辆者的现行邮寄地址,局方同时依据州法发布替代通知,并提醒这类居民主动发邮件至 [email protected] 确认自己是否受影响。局方建议所有人检查银行账单与信用报告、留意账户异常,并考虑向征信机构设置欺诈警报或安全冻结。

Florida FLHSMV Data Breach: Notification Letters Mailed This Week, One Year of Free Credit Monitoring Offered
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) begins mailing notification letters this week to residents who may have been affected by a data breach.
In an official notice dated October 16, the department said a malicious actor accessed certain department records on September 4 using compromised credentials. The department took immediate steps to contain the activity and secure its systems, and the investigation is being conducted with the Florida Digital Service and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The information potentially affected includes driver license and motor vehicle data, including document images and other personal information. As of the notice, FLHSMV had no evidence that the information had been misused. The department has not announced a total number of affected records.
FLHSMV has partnered with Sontiq, Inc., a TransUnion company, to offer affected individuals one year of complimentary identity and credit monitoring services and $1 million in identity theft insurance. Because the department may not have current mailing addresses for people who no longer hold a valid Florida driver license or identification card, or who previously titled a vehicle in Florida, it also issued a substitute notice under state law and advised those residents to email [email protected] to check whether they were affected. The department recommends reviewing account statements and credit reports, watching for suspicious activity, and considering a fraud alert or security freeze with the credit bureaus.
