DVLA security breach

Security breach strikes DVLA again

More personal details of motorists have been exposed to ID fraudsters, thanks to a second security breach at the DVLA.

DVLA security breach

13th January 2008

After losing a disc late last year containing data on three million learner drivers, more information has now been left unprotected.

A fault in the Agency’s online system meant the secure Internet connection for driver licensing was lost for 80 minutes on 6 December. It’s confirmed 528 people logged on during that time, and their data – including bank details in 153 cases – was not protected. The DVLA said there was no evidence the website was subject to any attack, but will contact affected motorists. DVLA boss Noel Shanahan added: “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
