What is confirmed
In a statement dated 11 September, FLHSMV says it learned of the breach on 4 September and points to Plant City Police Department user credentials held on a personal device as the access route.
FLHSMV describes an investigation and notifications. Numbers claimed by criminals are not a confirmed tally in its statement.
What it means
An authorised account can expose information even without a flaw in the public portal; the affected population depends on the investigation.
Driver or vehicle details can later be misused in fake fine-payment emails or impersonation calls.
What to do
If notified, verify via the official FLHSMV website or an independently obtained number; do not submit credentials through received links.
Watch for unexpected requests mentioning your licence or vehicle and follow the agency's identity-protection guidance.
Use the related SecurCheck tool, then confirm important decisions with an official source.
