Louisiana’s Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) is one of a still undetermined number of government entities, major businesses, and organizations to be affected by an unprecedented Data Breach.
There is no indication at this time that cyber attackers who breached MOVEit have sold, used, shared, or released the OMV data obtained from the MOVEit attack. The cyber attackers have not contacted the state government.
