IDScan confirms breach tied to 153 million stolen driver’s licenses

IDScan, an identity verification company, confirmed a data breach in which an unauthorized third party may have accessed or copied customer information stored on its IDScan.net cloud platform. The breach is linked to a dark-web service called 'Nexus' that advertised access to over 153 million driver's license scans, along with millions of other government-issued IDs. The exposed data includes full names, government-issued identification numbers, and scanned images of driver's licenses. IDScan has engaged third-party specialists, is cooperating with federal law enforcement including the FBI, and is offering credit monitoring to affected individuals.
