The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that a recent data breach exposed photos of the faces and license plates for more than 100,000 travelers driving in and out of the country.
The department said Monday that the breach stemmed from an attack on a federal subcontractor. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it learned of the breach on May 31, and that the data collected – photos of travelers and their license plates who were entering and exiting the U.S. in vehicles – extended over a six week period.
