Texas State Data Breach Exposes 3 Million Driver’s Licenses and Passport Numbers The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently disclosed a significant data breach affecting over 3 million individuals. Hackers gained access to a third-party vendor managing the state’s hunting and fishing license system, though the exact nature and timing of the incident remain unspecified. The breach compromised sensitive personal data, including driver’s license information, passport numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, and residential addresses of affected license holders. While the vendor’s identity has not been revealed, the Texas DPS has not confirmed whether the hackers made ransom demands or if any communication was received. This incident ranks among the largest data breaches in Texas this year, raising concerns about the security of state-managed systems and third-party vendors handling sensitive information. No further details on the attack vector or potential attribution have been provided.
