Breaking News: Thousands of California DMV customers’ Social Security information accessed by government agencies in ‘data breach’
Already besieged by problems including long wait times, the California Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday said it suffered a “data breach” in which federal agencies, including immigration authorities, had improper access to the Social Security information of 3,200 people issued driver licenses.
“Protection of personal information is important to DMV, and we have taken additional steps to correct this error, protect this information and reaffirm our serious commitment to protect the privacy rights of all license holders,” Gore said. “That’s why DMV immediately began correcting the access error following a legal compliance review, ensured that no additional confidential information was disclosed to these entities, and has implemented several additional layers of review.
The San Diego and Santa Clara district attorney offices accessed information in 3,000 of the cases, officials said.The controversy comes as the DMV has been struggling in the last year to overcome a series of problems includingat some field offices, computer crashes and mistakes in automatically registering people to vote.
