Louisiana and Oregon warn that millions of driver's licenses were exposed in a data breach after a ransomware gang hacked their MOVEit Transfer security file transfer systems to steal stored data.
The agency says there is no indication that Clop used, sold, shared, or released any of that data, so the stolen data may have been deleted as the ransomware actors promised in their announcement to delete any stolen government data.
The Oregon DMV released a similar statement and a press release explaining that its MOVEit Transfer data breach impacted approximately 3,500,000 Oregonians with an ID or driver's license.
"Since 2015, ODOT has used MOVEit Transfer, a popular file sharing tool created and supported by Progress Software Corp that allows organizations to securely transfer files and data between business partners and customers," reads Oregon DMV's press release.
While Clop started extorting victims of the MOVEit attacks on Wednesday by listing breached companies on the ransomware operation's data leak site, no stolen data has yet to be leaked.
As both the Louisiana and Oregon DMV fall under the government category, it is too soon to tell if the Clop extortionists will keep their promise and delete stolen data.
