At least four class-action lawsuits were filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against IDScan.net following reports of a potential mega-breach of driver's license data. A Russian cybercrime forum service called Nexus claimed over 153 million driver's licenses, mainly American and Canadian, plus over 10 million ID cards, travel documents, and medical cards. The FBI is investigating the incident, which was first reported by journalist Brian Krebs, and IDScan.net says it is investigating. IDScan.net provides B2B ID verification services for clients including Hertz, FedEx, and hundreds of US cannabis dispensaries.
