I wonder if I can buy my own drivers licence since I lost it and now I need a copy to get some paperwork done! Hackers please!

This is a sacrifice we just have to be willing to make as a society if we want to project kids from the horror of using the internet

If you are in California the DMV makes tens of millions of dollars a year selling all the data you give to the DMV, which is why I give them a P.O. Box.

CADMV claims on their web site that they cannot accept a P.O. box as a primary address. I have yet to find anything in California state law supporting this policy, though IANAL. Their enforcement seems to be quite lax.

The HN submission title is a garden-path sentence:

Hackers Had a Live Feed of Every ID Verification Company Scanned

(Huh? How do you scan a company?)

The original title is easier to parse:

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned
