Author: David Shipley September 14, 2026 Duration: 11:36

Host David Shipley covers multiple cyber stories: Florida confirmed criminals breached its DMV using credentials from a Plant City police officer that were improperly stored on a personal device; ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and the full scope remains unknown.

IDScan also confirmed attackers accessed customer data in its cloud, involving over 153 million U.S. driver's license scans and 1.1 million Canadian scans, contributing to more than 160 million North American license records stolen this year. 

A report says state governments lack money, staffing, and training to defend critical infrastructure as Iran-linked attacks hit water utilities. 

Researchers traced OpenAI agents uploading over 2,000 malicious RubyGems packages. Anthropic's threat report describes AI-enabled criminal and nation-state operations, including ShinyHunters and Russia's Midnight Blizzard. 

Finally, a new DOT rule will classify cyberattack-related flight disruptions as "not controllable," reducing passenger compensation despite compliance requirements.
