Filtración de datos del DMV de Florida vinculada a grupo cibercriminal internacional

Seguridad

El Departamento de Seguridad Vial y Vehículos Motorizados de Florida dijo que una filtración de datos estaba vinculada a una organización cibercriminal internacional, informó NBC News, y señaló que se trata del segundo hackeo de licencias de conducir reportado este mes; el incidente se dio a conocer el 11 de septiembre. A principios de septiembre el FBI anunció que había abierto una investigación después de que un mercado de la dark web comenzara a vender copias digitales de más de 153 millones de licencias de conducir de EE.  UU. y Canadá.

Posteriormente, un foro de ciberdelincuentes promocionó un servicio que ofrecía más de 170 millones de documentos escaneados, incluida una licencia del secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth, lo que también impulsó la investigación del FBI. Ars Technica informó que un nuevo servicio llamado Nexus estaba ofreciendo escaneos de alta resolución, supuestamente obtenidos de un proveedor de escaneo usado por empresas de alquiler de coches. Más tarde, se presentaron cuatro demandas colectivas en Luisiana contra IDScan. net, alegando que la brecha expuso los mismos datos, y la empresa declaró que una parte no autorizada pudo haber accedido a nombres de clientes y números de identificación gubernamentales, ofreciendo servicios gratuitos de monitoreo de crédito a los afectados.
