Driving Licenses 2018

A significant data breach involving Russian driving licenses issued in 2018 surfaced on underground forums. The leak contains sensitive personal details of approximately one million motorists. The dataset includes full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, and specific driver license numbers. This exposure poses a high risk of identity theft and targeted phishing attacks against vehicle owners in Russia. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in the storage and handling of governmental transportation records by third parties or internal systems during that period.
