The investigation found that the files appeared to have been accessed without authorization.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After learning of the issue, the company secured the files, engaged outside specialists, and reported the event to the Texas Attorney General, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and federal law enforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What information was affected?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The files concerned Texas driver licenses issued before February 2019 and contained names, dates of birth, physical addresses, driver license numbers, and vehicle registration histories.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vertafore expressly said the files did not contain Social Security numbers or financial account information.

This is the company's estimated affected-person count; it does not mean that separate evidence of misuse exists for every person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The company said its review found no evidence of information misuse connected to the event. That finding does not change the confirmed exposure and does not guarantee that misuse will never occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Why do these data types matter?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>A driver license number combined with a name, date of birth, and address can support identity-verification fraud or convincing targeted messages. Vehicle registration history can also make a false notice appear more personal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A message containing accurate vehicle or address details is not necessarily authentic. Unexpected requests claiming to come from a Texas agency, insurer, or identity-protection service should be verified through an independently located official channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What should affected people do?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Texas driver license holders can regularly review credit reports and new-account inquiries and report activity they do not recognize. Vertafore offered one year of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration after the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Use only Vertafore's verified notification channels when enrolling in protection services. Never provide a full driver license number, password, payment detail, or verification code during an unsolicited call.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If an unfamiliar driver-license or vehicle transaction appears, contact the Texas Department of Public Safety or Department of Motor Vehicles using official contact information.
