A data breach has exposed the personal information of every person with a California permit to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said Tuesday.
The California Department of Justice suffered the breach as part of the launch of its 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, which said it was informed of the leak Tuesday by the California State Sheriffs’ Assn.
“It is unknown exactly how much time the information was accessible,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
So it sounds like every permit holder in the state now has the potential for all of their personal information to be disseminated to whomever. Being as this happened in California, I can't help but think of nefarious intent. Activist hacker? planned breach? coincidence?
