CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Earlier this month, WCNC Charlotte reported Harris Teeter locations in North Carolina added new services to its DMV kiosks. But are those machines safe to use?
A viewer texted WCNC Charlotte asking if the Verify team could look into the DMV kiosks and whether there’s a data risk involved. The viewer stated that the company that provides the service may have hacked accounts that put everyone at risk.

WHAT WE FOUND
A spokesperson for NCDOT said these claims are baseless. He said intellectual technology complies with the state's Information Security Policies, which provide state agencies with a baseline for managing information security and making risk-based decisions.
So we can verify that no, your information is not at risk if you use the DMV kiosk service.
Our Verify team also searched for any instances where intellectual technology might have had a data breach, and we can verify that no, the company did not have any recent incidents in which users' accounts might have been compromised.
