The cache includes certificates of vehicle ownership, detailing names, addresses, and vehicle identification numbers for both buyers and sellers. While the breach largely avoids driver’s licenses and biometric photos, deeper files contain Social Security numbers, immigration papers, and foreign passports. The group validated their intrusion by circulating a record linked to Jeffrey Epstein, leveraging the high-profile name to confirm the authenticity of their haul.

ShinyHunters Dump Florida Driver Data After Ransom Refusal
The ShinyHunters hacking collective has released hundreds of thousands of records from Florida’s DAVID vehicle database, retaliating after the state agency refused to meet their extortion demands. The leak follows a security lapse involving compromised police officer credentials, exposing a vast repository of sensitive personal information.
Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles acknowledged the breach last week, tracing the initial entry to a police officer’s credentials stored on a personal device. This incident arrives during a volatile month for state-level data security, coinciding with a separate massive compromise at IDScan that exposed roughly 150 million driver’s license images. The agency has remained silent regarding the specific scale of the published Florida files.
