DMV-Themed Phishing Campaign Targeting U.S. Citizens

A sophisticated phishing campaign impersonating U.S. state Departments of Motor Vehicles emerged in May 2025, using SMS phishing and deceptive websites to harvest personal and financial data. Victims received messages about unpaid toll violations, directing them to fake DMV sites requesting extensive information. Technical analysis revealed shared infrastructure, consistent domain naming, and indicators of a China-based threat actor. The campaign used spoofed SMS numbers, often from the Philippines, and email addresses from obscure domains. Phishing websites followed a pattern using state IDs and specific TLDs. Infrastructure analysis showed connections to known malicious IP addresses and Chinese DNS providers. The campaign's widespread impact prompted alerts from multiple states and federal authorities.

"The CFPB economists used a very conservative methodology, so the number is likely higher, but let's stick with that figure for now. The switching costs of changing banks – determining which bank has the best deal for you, then transfering over your account histories, cards, payees, and automated bill payments – are costing everyday Americans more than half a billion dollars, every year.

Now, the CFPB wasn't gathering this data just to make you mad. They wanted to do something about all this money – to find a way to lower switching costs, and, in so doing, transfer all that money from bank shareholders and executives to the American public.

And that's just what they did. A newly finalized Personal Financial Data Rights rule will allow you to authorize third parties – other banks, comparison shopping sites, brokers, anyone who offers you a better deal, or help you find one – to request your account data from your bank. Your bank will be required to provide that data.

I loved this rule when they first proposed it:"
