Just found out that a lot of firearms owners in California had their personal information exposed thru the new firearms information portal launched by the California DOJ yesterday.
It sounds like a lot of information was exposed including Assault Weapons registrations and Firearms Safety Certificates including driver's license number and date of birth.
"California gun owners have been put at risk by the Attorney General’s office after a new dashboard leaked their personal information."
"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 Reload reviewed a copy of the Lost Angeles County database and found 244 judge permits listed in the database. The files included the home addresses, full names, and dates of birth for all of them. The same was true for seven custodial officers, 63 people with a place of employment permit, and 420 reserve officers.
2,891 people in Los Angeles County with standard licenses also had their information compromised by the leak, though the database appears to include some duplicate entries as well."

I was unfortunate enough to have my personal information exposed by the CA DOJ under AG Kamala about 8 years ago when they handed over driver's license number, DOBs, and addresses for Firearms Safety Certificate instructors to a reporter in San Diego. I got a whopping 12 months of credit monitoring from Kamala for it.
There's no excuse for this. I'm more than a little miffed about this.
