Texas data breach exposes 3 million driver's licenses

A significant data breach has compromised the personal information of over three million Texans, including driver's license and passport numbers. The Texas Parks & Wildlife department confirmed the incident, which occurred through a vendor handling hunting and fishing license sales. Hackers gained access to sensitive data, potentially including email addresses, phone numbers, and residential addresses. This breach represents one of the largest state-level security incidents this year, raising serious concerns about the security of government-held personal data and the vulnerabilities within third-party vendor systems. The full extent of the compromise and the identity of the vendor remain undisclosed.
