Seven government agencies now have access to some drivers' Social Security numbers thanks to a data breach at the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
According to the organisation, the breach had an impact on 3,200 people for at least the previous four years.
The DMV says that it was not hacked and that no private persons or organisations received the information.
According to the DMV, steps were taken right away to fix the access issue and make sure that no further private information was leaked.
