The FBI, the Department of Justice and New Hampshire officials are investigating a potential security breach after the Cain & Abel computer worm was found on a state Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) server during a routine security check last week.

The state’s Office of Information Technology said in a statement that no evidence has been found that indicates any user credit card information was accessed. Residents who used the state server for transactions were warned to keep an eye on their credit card transaction histories, but state officials said no illegal credit card use has been reported. The server held only credit card numbers, with no other personal information.
