FLHSMV blames one compromised credential: a Plant City Police Department login stored on an employee's personal device. ShinyHunters tells a different story. They claim it was an exploited password reset flaw run across multiple DMV and FBI accounts since September 3. Tomato, Tomatoh. The DAVID database's security perimeter turned out to be one officer's personal device. The record count, over 200,000 by the hackers' claim, remains unconfirmed. The breach was also confirmed by the bad guys days before Florida admitted it.
