Hackers publish thousands of drivers’ data after breaching Florida motor vehicle database

ShinyHunters published hundreds of thousands of records from Florida's DAVID vehicle database, including SSNs and passports, after an unpaid ransom demand.

The ShinyHunters group published hundreds of thousands of files from Florida's DAVID motor vehicle database on its leak site, saying the victim did not pay a ransom. Stolen records include vehicle ownership certificates with names, addresses, and VINs, plus a smaller number of Social Security numbers, non-US passports, and immigration documents. FLHSMV confirmed the breach, which followed theft of a police officer's credentials stored on a personal device. It comes the same month as the IDScan hack exposing over 150 million driver's license images.

Risky Bulletin: Russia tells data centers to deploy drone defenses

Russia ordered data center operators to deploy drone strike defenses under a Putin decree allowing temporary state takeover of unprotected critical infrastructure.

The Russian government instructed data center operators to deploy protections against drone strikes under a presidential decree signed by Putin that allows temporary state administration of critical infrastructure operators failing to defend against Ukrainian hacks and drone strikes. Although data centers are not formally critical infrastructure in Russia, the decree applies to them because other sectors depend heavily on cloud services; Russia has more than 180 data centers, over 80% in the European region within range of Ukrainian strikes. The digest also reports a Dropbox breach affecting nearly 5,000 accounts via the Lenovo ID integration, spyware attacks on at least 14 Serbians using NoviSpy or Pegasus, and a password recovery attack targeting hundreds of thousands of X accounts tied to the new X Money service. Other items include a 14-hour compromise of Coder's Cloudflare infrastructure delivering malicious Terraform modules, donor data breaches at Davayte and You Are Not Alone via the Stripe/WooCommerce integration, a $2.5M Aquifer crypto heist, and a TVING breach exposing data of almost 40 million accounts.

Latvian officials resign after cyberattack exposes data on 1.2 million people

Latvia's road traffic agency CSDD confirmed a breach exposing data on 1.2 million people and 200,000 businesses, prompting leadership resignations.

Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) said hackers accessed payment receipt data dating back to 2008, covering over 1.2 million people and 200,000 legal entities, about two-thirds of Latvia's population. Stolen data includes personal ID numbers, license plates, payment amounts and addresses; phone numbers, emails and passwords were not affected. CERT.LV said attackers exploited a vulnerability in an internet-exposed CSDD system, and President Edgars Rinkevics called the breach a significant national security threat. The supervisory board resigned and chief Aivars Aksenoks said he will leave; state police opened criminal proceedings while responsibility with IT contractor Tet is disputed.
