Florida confirms DMV database breached via stolen police account

Florida confirms its DAVID driver database was breached using stolen police credentials; ShinyHunters claims theft of 200,000+ records.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles confirmed a breach of its DAVID driver database, learned of on September 4, 2026, and says the breach was quickly mitigated with none ongoing. Investigators found the attacker used compromised credentials of a single Plant City Police Department employee that were improperly stored on a personal electronic device. The ShinyHunters extortion gang claims it stole more than 200,000 driver records starting September 3 and shared a Jeffrey Epstein record as proof; FLHSMV has not confirmed the count. The agency notified the Florida Attorney General's office and is working with the Florida Digital Service and Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

ShinyHunters claims Florida DMV breach, puts data on the clock

ShinyHunters claims it breached Florida DMV's DAVID database, stole 200,000+ driver records including SSNs, and set a September 11 extortion deadline.

The ShinyHunters extortion group claims it breached the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' DAVID driver and vehicle database and stole more than 200,000 records. As evidence it published a screenshot of a Jeffrey Epstein record showing address, Social Security number, date of birth, license number and registered vehicles, and set a September 11 deadline before publication. The group says it obtained access through a password-reset weakness, compromised employee accounts, and queried and downloaded driver records and images. The Florida DMV has not confirmed the claim; it follows a separate confirmed IDScan.net breach exposing over 153 million license scans that prompted an FBI investigation.
