GA Driver's License Files Possibly Hacked
A computer programmer for a sensitive state
agency has been charged with computer intrusion and theft for accessing Georgia driver's license files without authorization.
He apparently was hired without undergoing a background check.
The Georgia Technology Authority says Asif Siddiqui was arrested April 28th at the agency's offices near the state Capitol after the
agency discovered he had logged into the database outside of work hours without having a reason to do so.
The agency's director, Tom Wade, says officials have NO idea how many files were accessed or what, if any, personal information may have been compromised. The files potentially included names, addresses, home telephone numbers and Social Security numbers of thousands of Georgians.
An investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation will help determine if any other state databases were tapped and potentially compromised.
The Georgia Technology Authority is the state's data arm, managing its databases and communications systems.
