Hackers breached Texas DOT (TxDOT), stealing 300,000 crash reports with personal data from its Crash Records Information System (CRIS).
Threat actors compromised the CRIS system, leading to unauthorized access and download of crash reports containing personal information.
TxDOT, as a state agency managing transportation systems in Texas, oversees various functions, including traffic safety and crash data management through CRIS.
Following the breach, TxDOT disabled the compromised account, initiated an investigation, and is enhancing security measures to prevent future incidents.
