ShinyHunters hackers claim breach of Florida "DAVID" DMV database
ShinyHunters claims it breached Florida's DAVID DMV database via a password-reset flaw, stealing 200,000+ driver records including SSNs.
The ShinyHunters extortion gang added Florida FLHSMV to its leak site, claiming theft of over 200,000 driver records from the DAVID platform since September 3. As proof, the group published a screenshot of Jeffrey Epstein's DMV record showing address, Social Security number, driver's license ID, and registered vehicles. The gang says it compromised DMV employee and FBI agent accounts via a password-reset flaw and iterated through records by ID. Access has reportedly been lost and the flaw is being patched, but ShinyHunters expects to announce breaches of other states' DMV platforms.

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.
