Oregon DMV Hacked

[Lee B]

"This month, a massive hack targeted the Oregon DMV. The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles confirmed Thursday that an estimated 3.5 million driver's license and identification card files were compromised when the agency was hacked two weeks ago."

Wow! I have am going to have to freeze my credit and notify my clients to do the same thing.

Mind boggling. (my credit accounts have been frozen since the equifax hack)

[Terry D EA]

Mine too. That Equifax hack cost me tons of aggravation. Been frozen ever since.

This is the most terrifying hack of all.  Not only do the hackers have all your personal data, they have your physical description.  Unless you are 4'5" or 6'6", it won't be too hard to find someone who looks like you and can cash those checks.  Make sure that you have a credit freeze and not a credit alert (which the companies recommend because it still allows them to sell your credit scores).
