Another day, another data breach. Hi, my name is Kaitlyn. I'm a cybersecurity and data protection expert and I want to help you stay up to date on all the latest data breaches. Let's go. Every Louisiana driver's license holder was exposed in a cyber attack. This cyber attack also affected American federal agencies, British Airways and BBC. Governor of Louisiana stated that his staff believes that everyone with a driver's license, identification card or car registration issued by the state of more than 4.6 million residents probably had their names, addresses and Social Security numbers exposed to the hackers. He also continued to say that the cyber attackers had access to the driver's license numbers, vehicle registration data, handicapped place cards, birth dates, height and eye colors. It was apparently caused by a Russian linked extortion gang. Edwards also said that there was no evidence the hackers sold, used, shared or released any personal details. But we are still unsure if you live in the state of Louisiana.
