MVD Express’s Data Breach Investigation

On January 28, 2025, MVD Express identified a breach in its systems that allowed unauthorized access to an employee’s email account. This incident led to the exposure of sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license details, and other identifying information.
