A massive leak of personal information from a California state database for permits to carry concealed weapons is larger than initially reported, officials said Wednesday.
The revelation came a day after the Fresno County Sheriff's Office said it was informed of a data breach affecting every person with a California concealed-carry permit.
On Wednesday, the California Department of Justice said the leak was more extensive, affecting not only current permit holders but anybody who was granted or denied a permit to carry a concealed weapon between 2011 and 2021.
The data were exposed when the Department of Justice updated its Firearms Dashboard Portal on Monday, state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta's office said in a statement.
The information included names, dates of birth, gender, race, driver's license numbers, addresses and criminal histories, according to the statement. Social Security numbers and financial information were not exposed.
In addition to information from the concealed-carry permit applications, data on the Assault Weapon Registry, Handguns Certified for Sale, Dealer Record of Sale, Firearm Safety Certificate and Gun Violence Restraining Order dashboards were "also impacted," Bonta's office said, but authorities are investigating whether any personally identifiable information was exposed from those dashboards.
