A vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer software has led to the infiltration of the personal records of millions of Americans across several states, according to Tech Radar.
Approximately 6 million Louisiana residents have been affected by the cyberattack, with their vehicle registrations and driver’s licenses being exposed. These documents have revealed personal data including their “name, address, Social Security Number , birthdate, height, eye color, driver’s license number, vehicle registration information, and handicap placard information.”
Recommended Videos Both the states of Louisiana and Oregon have put out advisories to their residents to put a hold on their credit to head off any potential scams that could arise on their personal accounts. Citizens can do so through the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion credit agencies. As mentioned, the Louisiana and Oregon DMV breaches have not been isolated incidents. Other organizations affected by the MOVEit vulnerability include the U.S. Department of Energy and the Office of Personnel Management, the British Broadcasting Corporation , Transport for London, and British Airways.
