The Oregon Department of Transportation reported a major data breach that compromised the personal information of 3.5 million Oregon residents' private DMV records. Although the state department can't identify whether a specific person's information has been accessed by hackers, individuals can check their credit report for any unfamiliar transactions or accounts.

Individuals can also ask one of the consumer reporting companies to freeze their credit files on their website or over the phone.
