ID verification giant IDScan confirms data breach with more than 150 million driver’s licenses stolen

IDScan, an identity-document verification service, confirmed that hackers stole driver’s licenses and other government ID numbers from its cloud systems; a dark-web searchable dataset reportedly contains information and photos for over 150 million U.S. and Canadian individuals. The breach was first reported by an independent journalist, has been partially verified, and is under investigation by the FBI and other authorities; IDScan noted the data may require payment to access and has posted notice but has not disclosed the total number affected.
