FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses

A new identity theft service, Nexus, is selling over 153 million driver’s licenses and other identification documents, sourced from a Louisiana-based identity verification company, idscan.net. The FBI’s New Orleans field office has launched an official investigation into a potential breach at idscan.net, which provides identity verification services to numerous businesses, including Hertz, Target, and Caesars Entertainment. The incident highlights the growing risk of sensitive data being exposed through widespread ID verification practices and raises concerns for vulnerable populations, such as those seeking to escape domestic violence or individuals in witness protection programs.
