Thanks to a data breach, at least 50K American license plate numbers are available on dark web

At least 50,000 American license plate numbers have been made available on the dark web after a company hired by Customs and Border Protection was at the center of a major data breach, according to CNN analysis of the hacked data. What’s more, the company was never authorized to keep the information, the agency told CNN.

“CBP does not authorize contractors to hold license plate data on non-CBP systems,” an agency spokesperson told CNN.
