Florida DMV Breach Exposes Resident Data; 23andMe Settles California Lawsuit

Florida's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has suffered a significant data breach, with alerts issued to current and former residents regarding compromised personal information. The breach, reportedly linked to the ShinyHunters group, occurred after a police department insecurely stored login credentials, leading to a statewide compromise.

In a separate development, California will receive a $6 million settlement from 23andMe following a 2023 data breach that exposed the genetic and personal information of millions of customers. The state had contested the sale of 23andMe assets during its bankruptcy proceedings, arguing it violated privacy laws.
