“The California Department of Justice’s 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal went live on Monday with publicly-accessible files that include identifying information for those who have concealed carry permits. The leaked information includes the person’s full name, race, home address, date of birth, and date their permit was issued. The data also shows the type of permit issued, indicating if the permit holder is a member of law enforcement or a judge.”

The site is now down are they are looking into it.

Evil is found in many forms. I'm thinking for a while a bit of paranoia would be useful for concealed carry permit holders, though paranoia really is not the right word. Their threat of imminent harm has increased. I have guys who are great at security who are not security guards. You want I should loan you a few?

It doesn’t affect me. My county does not issue concealed carry permits. It would be interesting to see how many CCW exist for my county.

Our state law on CCW is unconstitutional like the one struck down in New York.

LOS ANGELES — A data breach has exposed the personal information of every person with a California permit to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said Tuesday.

The California Department of Justice suffered the breach as part of the launch of its 2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal, according to the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, which said it was informed of the leak Tuesday by the California State Sheriffs' Association.

"This public site allows access to certain information, however, personal information of concealed carry weapon permit holders is not supposed to be visible," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "This includes, but is not limited to a person's name, age, address, Criminal Identification Index number and license type (Standard, Judicial, Reserve and Custodial)."

The breach affects all concealed weapons permit holders in California, the Sheriff's Office said.

Justice Department officials pulled down the dashboard site along with all related links after learning of the breach, but it is possible that some private information was posted elsewhere online.

"It is unknown exactly how much time the information was accessible," the Sheriff's Office said.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta's office told law enforcement it is "working with urgency" to determine the breach's scope and plans to contact permit holders to directly advise them.

Bonta's office will institute a program to mitigate harm or damages that permit holders suffer as a result of the breach, according to the Sheriff's Office.

"We are investigating an exposure of individuals' personal information connected to the DOJ Firearms Dashboard," the attorney general's office said in a statement. "Any unauthorized release of personal information is unacceptable. We are working swiftly to address this situation and will provide additional information as soon as possible."

I blame HOCKEYDAD...

Might have a case there...

Mine expired in 2017, IIRC.

Your name was THE FIRST ONE ON THE RELEASED LISTING
BECAUSE your a California deserter...

That is the reason for the zero crime numbers.

It was accessible for 24 hours, Bonta is lower than whale ****e and belongs in jail.

Whoever breached/released that data has no shame, or decency.

I wonder what laws are in place if any to cover this.

LMAO you think they’re going to prosecute him?!!!

Do you not understand that at least a 1/3 of the country is at war?

Class action civil suit maybe?

Why I love Texas..........CC no permit, no data base.

Really? So I can pack in AZ and TX on my way across? I mean legally... I'll be packing regardless. My truck will be my home on wheels, essentially.

Yes sir........the travelers law is still on the books.That doesn't mean you can carry on your person but in a concealed compartment in your vehicle within hands reach is legal in Texas

Z, you have feared that the government will confiscate your guns for a long time. This is a reasonable assumption. I am guessing here about 100 million Americans feel the same way. If you look at federal I do think the federal government is ready to try to take your guns away. They just passed that new law that allocates 157 million to confiscate the guns of people who are a danger to themselves and others. 100 million is roughly 1/3 of the country. So yes, 1/3 of the country is already at war.

I like how you see reality so clearly. I tend to dismiss conspiracy theories ad the ideas of people who are looking for something that is not there. You cut directly to the heart of the matter. I think this is because you are less gullible than I am. I on the other hand need solid verifiable facts. I try to believe people and our government are honest, until proven otherwise. You easily , simply see through lies.

I'm not a lawyer but a couple classes I've had to take recently for cybersecuity had us learn about the various laws relating to the legal and ethical requirements for the collection, maintenance, storage and protection of sensitive and personal information.

I wouldn't think this incident was intentional but it's clear that they didn't have a appropriate safeguards in place to prevent it.

There are strict rules and laws on how agencies must handle and protect this information from being released.

Someone really screwed the pooch on this data breach.

NINE! teen

Bucky I don’t know what you mean by data breach, they Cal DOJ happened to “update” the system and made this info readily available. When I read breach it has a connotation that it was nefariously taken, where here it was readily given away and Bonta the POS waited 48 before even acknowledging that it happened.
