Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is investigating a data breach. The agency confirmed the inquiry Friday, stating the breach involved driver's license information. The FLHSMV incident represents the second reported data compromise this month affecting organizations that maintain driver's license data for individuals in the United States.
