Customs and Border Protection is reporting that photos of travelers and license plates collected at a single U.S. border point have been exposed in a malicious cyberattack in what a leading congressman called a 'major privacy breach.'
Customs and Border Protection said photos of travelers and license plates have been exposed in a malicious cyberattack.
A Customs and Border Protection spokesman said initial reports indicated that the images involved fewer than 100,000 people; photographs were taken of travelers in vehicles entering and exiting the United States at a single land-border port of entry over one and a half months. Customs and Border Protection said none of the data had surfaced on the internet or dark web. The Register said the hacker provided it with a list of files exfiltrated from the Perceptics corporate network and said a company spokesperson had confirmed the hack.
