> Florida’s highway safety and motor vehicles department says someone accessed certain records on September 4, 2026, using compromised credentials. Potentially exposed information includes driver’s license and vehicle data, document images, and other personal details. The state is offering affected people one year of credit monitoring, though some former residents may not receive notice; officials say there is no evidence the data has been misused.
