Oregon DMV hack: Readers’ questions answered about stolen ID, drivers license

Hackers pulled off the largest data breach in at least 5 years when they accessed 3.5 million Oregonians’ drivers licenses and ID cards.

The breach compromised about 90% of the state’s license and ID cards, and DMV officials say all state residents should assume they were victims.

Driver licenses and ID cards contain many identifying details, including date of birth, home address, and an individual’s height, weight and eye color.

It says no photos and only the last four of SS# were stolen.

All 3 major (and the smaller 5) credit reporting companies have been hacked with loss of data. You don’t need to be online … ever…
