Texas Hunting License Data Breach
from Texas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Texas Parks and Wildlife hit a major cyber scare after a third-party vendor handling hunting and fishing licenses was breached, exposing driver’s license numbers and contact info for 3 million Texans — but no Social Security numbers, birth dates, financial data, or kids’ records were compromised. The department is ramping up security, partnering with the vendor to prevent future breaches, and offering one year of free credit monitoring through Kroll to all affected users until September 14, 2026. They urge listeners to monitor bank accounts and credit reports, consider freezing credit or setting fraud alerts, and provide a hotline for enrollment: 844-959-7123, Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5:30 PM.
