The FIA confirmed that a group of ethical hackers briefly gained access to data in its driver licensing portal - including Max Verstappen’s passport - while the leak has been fixed in collaboration with the hackers themselves.
The breach took place this summer, when a trio of ethical hackers — Gal Nagli, Sam Curry and Ian Carroll — got into the FIA’s Driver Categorisation portal. Although the successful hack was carried out months ago, they only revealed their findings publicly this week on social media.
