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

ID verification firm IDScan confirms hackers stole over 150 million driver's license records, including names and license numbers, from its cloud.

IDScan confirmed that threat actors stole driver's license records — full names, license numbers, and other government ID numbers — from the company's cloud systems during a roughly year-long intrusion. Brian Krebs previously reported a dark web service exposing data on over 150 million US and Canada residents, including license photos and records of high-profile individuals such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The FBI is investigating, and IDScan indicated hackers apparently demanded payment for full access to the stolen cache; the investigation is ongoing.

Trump turns to private sector in offensive hacking operations memo

Trump signed a national security memorandum authorizing vetted private companies to conduct offensive cyber operations against transnational criminal organizations under federal oversight.

The memorandum creates a federal coordination center program authorizing 'Participating Companies' to conduct Cyber Surveillance Operations and Cyber Effects Operations against foreign cyber-enabled transnational criminal organizations. Participating firms must contract with the Justice Department or Department of Homeland Security, undergo vetting, and comply with existing laws including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The White House cited sustained fraud and cyber-enabled campaigns from TCOs as justification, building on a March fraud-focused executive order. Experts including Veracode co-founder Chris Wysopal called it a major shift in U.S. cyber policy, though it stops short of broader 'hack back' proposals.
