California DMV finds no evidence of any computer system breach (update 1)

Posted on March 22, 2014 by Dissent

Associated Press reports:

The California Department of Motor Vehicles said Saturday there is no evidence of a computer breach that could affect credit-card users, but it’s launching an investigation “out of an abundance of caution.”

DMV spokesman Armando Botello said the agency was alerted by law enforcement to a potential security breach within its online credit-card processing systems.

“There is no evidence at this time of a direct breach of the DMV’s computer system,” Botello said in a statement.

But the agency has opened an investigation, and it’s cooperating with state and federal authorities.

Update: Krebs suggests the breach may be at their payment card processor.
