Florida says motor vehicle data breach tied to credentials stolen from officer’s personal device

ShinyHunters breached Florida's DMV using credentials stolen from a police officer's personal device; the state confirmed the breach and is investigating.

Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) confirmed a data breach after ShinyHunters obtained DMV data using credentials a criminal actor took from a Plant City police officer's personal electronic device. The department learned of the breach on September 4, is investigating with the Florida Digital Service, and ShinyHunters shared a DMV record of Jeffrey Epstein as proof of access. Experts initially speculated a link to the IDScan breach of 153 million driver's licenses. Anthropic reported that suspected ShinyHunters affiliates use AI to scan credentials, map systems, and exfiltrate data, in one case moving from a stolen developer token to cloud admin access in about three hours.

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.

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.

Risky Bulletin: Two TeamPCP members arrested in Australia

Australian Federal Police arrested two alleged TeamPCP members behind supply-chain worm attacks that stole over 500,000 credentials from compromised open-source libraries.

The AFP arrested alleged TeamPCP leader Ruben Thomson, 21, and Louis Gaebler, 23, near Perth; both were charged and remain in custody. The group inserted a self-spreading credential-stealing worm into open-source projects including Trivy, KICS, LiteLLM, and Telnyx, harvesting more than 500,000 credentials used for network access, ransomware, extortion, and sales. About 78,000 tokens and secrets from nearly 2,200 organizations leaked online last month, and the FBI supported the investigation that began in April.
