"We're seeing two percent of our card base compromised as a result of this, and our cards are 100 percent concentrated here in California," Krebs' source told him. The number of credit cards affected in the California DMV data breach was not available, but one source at an unnamed small bank told Krebs the bank had received a list from MasterCard of more than 1,000 compromised cards that had been used at the DMV. California had 23.8 million licensed drivers in 2011, according to the U.S. Residents of California can pay most DMV fees online, and Krebs found a press statement that said 11.9 million California DMV payment transactions had been conducted online in 2012. The printed security card code is meant to verify that the purchaser is in physical possession of the card. It wasn't clear whether cardholder names or contact information, or more sensitive personal data, such as drivers' license numbers or Social Security numbers, were affected.Įven without names, card not present data can be used to fraudulently purchase items online or over the telephone. In a posting on his Krebs on Security blog today (March 22), Krebs said he was told the stolen information included standard "card not present" data - card number, expiration date and the three- or four-digit security code printed on the card.
