Columbus kept years of the public's driver's license data. Now it's been stolen
The Columbus Dispatch
Every time central Ohioans visit Columbus City Hall and most other municipal government buildings, they scan their driver's license to enter — and all of that information dating back to early 2006 may now be available on the dark web.
The volume of data — potentially dating back almost two decades — may have still been on file during a July 18 cyber attack because the city's retention policy is open-ended and allows the government to hold onto it until it's deemed "obsolete," said city spokeswoman Melanie Crabill.
