Florida confirms DMV database breached via stolen police account

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles confirmed a breach of its DAVID driver database allegedly by the ShinyHunters extortion gang; FLHSMV says the attacker used compromised credentials from a single Plant City Police Department user, while ShinyHunters claims a password-reset flaw and posted a sample record. The agency states the breach was mitigated, is working with state and law enforcement partners, and has not confirmed how many driver records were accessed or stolen.
