Another Data Breach? Now at California Department of Motor Vehicle

An investigation is currently on-going due to possible data breach that might have occurred in California Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV). 
The investigator are looking at the angle that this maybe related to the transactions made on its website from August 2013 to January 2014. Huge number of debit card and credit card might have been affected and the investigators have been watching closely on those accounts that currently have unauthorized transactions and are found to have used DMV online website as a form of payment in the past few months. Even though there was no clear evidence of system hack, some banks has started investigating separately and working closely to avoid losses in their customers' accounts. 
New debit and credit will be sent out to customers who might potentially affected by the possible data breach. 

Banker's Tip: Most banks are now notifying their customers in advance specially if there are important update. Check your online banking and review your transactions, browse on your paper mails and e-mail and check if your bank might have sent notice and reminders.
