A data breach at a Texas government department allowed hackers to steal the driver's license information and passport numbers of more than 3 million people, according to the state's attorney general.
The incident is one of the largest data breaches to impact the state this year.
In a data breach notification posted on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, the department said the state's cybersecurity division recently detected a security incident (the nature and timing of which was not specified) that gave hackers access to the department's licensing system vendor, which sells hunting and fishing licenses.
The department has not named the vendor and did not respond to TechCrunch's request for comment on the incident or whether the department received any assistance from the hackers.
The breach also included email addresses, phone numbers and residential addresses of affected licensees, the department said.
