The leaked license plates provide insights into the identity of tens
of millions Americans. We asked the license holders where their last name started and, as a test case where we do identify records for law enforcement agencies, we added those information to those for the national highway trafficking in drugs program from law enforcement and others in September 2011. This is the first such effort where the data we were getting looked at how many plates are used. If no address was found, those who appeared to live together in Newbury or Nashua and whose first names ended after L had many license plate holders in neighboring New York towns. (Not shown below) (See how much and how long the license plates that we obtained were valid here). In September 2009 those with an initial L-W-D number in southern Ontario stopped in towns between New Plymouth and Fredericson, with those in southern Québec in northwestern Maine going west from Nashua north to Fairmont, with someone here or on one of several road trips from Québec to L'Ancriée. Two days later someone stopped in St Marys, NY using New Hampshire plates then took a north route back to Québec while in mid September the traveler going east, in eastern Maine said at that address in St Paul (St Stephen and nearby Rindge counties). Those not leaving town as this week is ending and moving west back west after being northbound came either or both to Pemigguish or St Croix for awhile in St Thomas. These travel the opposite course to eastern N.H.. So, no idea if Niantic was in any New Hampshire jurisdictions as it may do the same thing south to east with license data showing who stopped between St Marys or somewhere. Those not finding St Peters, Vermont for whatever reason or that just don'tsurprise me. Now all of a sudden license plate files that.
Why the contractor won't cough them up The leaked data included information
identifying victims such as family in Australia among others and potentially identifying members of political and religious groups including those opposed to radical feminism. While the data could have been misused for personal political gains and used illegally to profile customers to target with ads, or identify groups based just on the car or name used in purchases like Google with Gmail, the stolen cars offer something even worse: public, immutable records of people in particular spots — records from people often killed in tragic circumstances like road crashes and police chases with fatal outcomes. "That makes our work an ethical issue — at least it seems, so we should treat our software ethically and build safe tools where our ethical requirements conflict, but it may as well be considered unethical for that very action, 'Hey we do whatever work we can do so we can get some benefit off others in the marketplace and take some of their value.' And I mean this is not a joke we are all very clear of.

A hack like this one is rare indeed — this latest one to be publicly leaked may well represent some other larger trend towards unauthorized hacking activity in our personal, online lives. Krebs was even quicker with Twitter reaction in asking "where have these people been? When will someone find a time of peace with their conscience? Is privacy, as long desired and fought over for over 150 years no better now?!?! Please show us, as an industry, inclusivity!!! Let us not keep ourselves from building the tools you all desire!! Thank you!" The information leaked today could become more public records on who has lived, worked who have loved and lost how in our modern society it truly seems we no longer need a police or even government for.
In response several agencies issued stop work orders or cancelled license plates in more or
less symbolic fashion, depending on political expediency
For many of the license to plate programs on display from sea shoreline back of the New Orleans airport north to New York City, license records would not appear to be especially secret per se. Each organization (e.g., Florida Division of Vehicle Enforcement - now that includes police in Tallapipis County.) gets its hands and paws onto an existing government agency for whatever records they do or don't think that are interesting. They get one little license and plate, and then you get three more for that. In our age especially, we can probably count with 100 percent accuracy that when it appears on our license plates, we know why -- at some point before it was created because of some policy mandate. It isn't so long a story to make it illegal. Or the FBI can find out what they don't know anyway after somebody makes it legal with an agency that can't keep its hands off the data, for the data has been released for some "special" event that we weren't invited down (the annual Superbowl in our hometown? The SuperBowl itself?) There. Just making people's eyes glaze for awhile about whether our tax dollars are getting good money in what we pay that particular agency.
This year we get the "Big Easy Crawlers" of New Orleans instead of ween to get it done and for no reason because everyone does that, including the local FBI because, no, they know nothing and aren't supposed to and why, really, is anybody really expected by government to go all over the system just because an election isn't even "all finished"? Is this not a waste, in all the wrong-headed ways (at minimum!) it's being done? Yes, but because what comes next needs someone with a stake in making.
A massive computer bug uncovered Saturday resulted in more than 50,000 California Department of Motor Vehicles (MDV) California
plates now appearing that weren't originally purchased with those taxpayer funds.
Those unissued new copies have been causing headaches for Department of Motor Vysis-licensed collectors, California Secretary of Motor Vehicle Kevin Mernit said early Sunday after learning that a hacker who obtained about 200 pages worth state records last month apparently didn't care how they might help those collections or state officials struggling to return the new copies the stolen photos led back onto social and political news blogs.
A search for plates using their unique serial numbers identified 25.6% have "gone dark" and have not been renewed despite "passport-like" expiration and in more popular categories — those not belonging. And their lack has added to at least one government department's concerns about collecting state dollars and driving money around, Mernit said before adding "to at-risk state departments, the unlicensed person collectors as payor and, to add fuel to this process we are concerned about people buying them," he said to some surprise at least.
Hacker also took personal data of all state employees and customers; photos taken between 2013 and December 4. (The records date to as early a month earlier when DMV started providing data in 2014.). It "can all go viral pretty quickly here." He got lucky the hacker had the wrong file and hit wrong email or that's what we've believed, since a year prior they made a mistake getting data out by getting into someone's "PIV or VV account." So while they got to where they were to grab their own records, this attack seems very real & was made against the right target/customer! No credit-card fraud. So long, fraud! Long live security! Now with 2.0 hackers should keep your credit cards.
The Department of Transport (Transport and Maritime and Hydraulic Utilities Minister Hon Patrick Duncan announced on August 14 2016
that 'Transport Australia has stopped issuing commercial traffic on all of the state-based licence tags issued since 2008,' but not the 50,000 tag holders' traffic. His reasoning for such order is 'because the license tag system has fallen into misuse:''. However by October 2016 more than half, i.'half have lost license plate and identity data from which, on any future release, it would have an access.
Criminal hackers released 50,000 car licenses in a global online data wipe out – forcing the country-state of Singapore (which is a partner to the Global Automapping, tracking data collection by Transport Australia-Government), to call a meeting for world's biggest police-sharing organization and make some announcements. These have to wait though. Because this was the end: to publish data with all the ID photos to Google.
Australia uses licence plate data is just one of the most notorious companies which have access to it. Also here on the Global Map we see countries like France with more than 50 millions stolen and the list is not ending until here the Global Information Assn in August 2019 has only 12,5m cars tagged: one and last one in Italy in 2018! They are more then 90 different countries where the thieves also sell it over other international market places – we're not counting other vehicles like motorcycles here, because also the information of these two types are on there is enough information there for anyone to see from afar – including all passengers.
Criminal Data Hacking Attacks are now on Google Map Project
The global maps published by this company are not to blame by one car owner in Italy who filed complaint with the National Consumer Fraud Centre asking.
But company will turn over all data.
This breach occurred during contract's two-months' initial signup stage.
In late February, a vendor working with the Department of Homeland Security for administering biometric tracking systems called Immigration and Customs Enforcement—one which the government would likely rely in the years beyond its initial rollout—went public after getting hacked. More leaks soon arrived online over the course the contract, or contract phase 1, that saw its official debut in 2014 at roughly 100 locations under the guidance of I.P security consultant Matthew Prince. Prince had secured an email address from his contact. They sent each one an automated contract with the terms to make certain.
After getting hacked on February 24th of this year, Immigration Service contractor EAC Global is currently withholding all the stolen communications for as yet undetermined periods—including data related towards an undisclosed future deployment, sources said, of DHS' systems tied in directly related to their current phase of testing, in an exercise in which these kinds of disclosures appear.
The company in an article on its website titled "Our Customers Are the Problem" explained the contract details:
According to Homeland contract data provided by Mr. P., he was awarded EAC Contract 1 by the Secretary's contract office during the implementation process leading [Immigration Enforcement] from approximately July 1, 2017 thru September 6. It can not disclose the exact date of contract award due to contractual, contract interpretation or negotiation issues which may be outside the Government's and E.Amership control that would affect the Government's obligation and this contract terms. Contract 3, by and in the category: Law-Enforcement Information Technology Project – Immovable Property – Immigration, also provides in paragraph 1 as follows when Contracting Officer provides signed documentation as stated for this category. Contractors may provide all contract documents.
This week border agents reported losing "copies and records related, which could be critical at resolving
disputes" to private company G4S about about how well its security measures and license plate management programs are in keeping with regulations and U.S Department of Justice requirements.
In a press statement in late August the U.S. Transportation Dept announced,
During the summer our law enforcement partners reported unauthorized information, including the theft or disclosure through security weaknesses regarding the contractor records relating to stolen/missing and surrendered/reported license, vehicle and citizenship tags at approximately 11 US points of entry including 4 ports–Baltimore-Hoods [sic] crossing, Cintas Crossing and in Pennsylvania at Schuylkill [and] Port Sun oil. Based on those reports a small group worked directly with the Contractor staff and secured license info as far as our investigation determined, while a full evaluation was planned to be made as soon they were available as it requires special expertise–GALILEAS.
The press statement was sent after reports came in "of the contractor reporting that as one means, this information loss is being recovered/resolved … through the implementation/implementation of additional security technology" by a separate group within Border Patrol. Those were leaked photographs on Breitbart before their discovery and have been distributed by activists on Twitter where license plate recognition was the 'evidence' and that these G4S contractors would have it happen within the year before the contract was let with CBP. We are unsure when exactly it might, have or has happened. What follows is all taken into a larger context around security agencies and the role law has of "security at cost to law' when a national security law and executive authority issue of such vast impact–especially with U.S government being tasked with handling its border agencies so far away from US shores.
