#Cybersecurity #USA #California #Privacy #DriversLicence: "Cybersecurity experts are warning about potential security and privacy risks associated with California’s new digital driver’s license.

Since Aug. 15, around 100,000 Californians have signed up for the new digital license on their smartphones, a Department of Motor Vehicles spokesperson told The Standard on Tuesday. The program is currently capped at 1.5 million participants.

Adam Marré, chief security officer for cybersecurity firm Arctic Wolf, said anyone downloading the new licenses should know their data is not completely protected from theft.

“The threat level of unauthorized individuals gaining access to or stealing user data [on mobile licenses] is not zero,” said Marré, a former FBI agent. “Putting 100% faith in user data being thoroughly protected is overly optimistic.”"
