Stolen Laptop Exposes FL Residents’ Personal Data
About 133,000 Florida residents are being notified that their sensitive personal information was stored in a stolen laptop. The laptop was stolen last month from Florida’s Department of Transportation inspector general’s office.
The computer contains the names, Social Security numbers, birthdates and addresses of 42,792 Florida residents who hold a pilot’s license; 80,667 people in the Miami-Dade County area who hold commercial driver’s licenses; 9,496 people who took personal driver’s license tests or obtained their license from an examining facility near Tampa, the letter said.
Anyone who has been exposed to this breach can call the department’s toll free number at: 800-424-9071. A website has also been setup for more information. A copy of the notification letters can be found below:
