Texas government data breach allowed hackers to steal 3 million driver’s licenses and passports

A data breach exposed government-issued identification documents for over 3 million people in Texas. The breach compromised driver's licenses and passport information, representing a significant exposure of personally identifiable information tied to state residents.

Why it matters: Texas residents and any organizations relying on Texas ID verification are at immediate risk of identity theft, fraud, and unauthorized access; practitioners should assess whether their systems accept Texas IDs and implement enhanced verification controls.
