It sure looks like hackers breached a major ID card verification service
Suspected breach of ID verification firm IDScan exposed over 150 million US and Canadian driver's licenses and passports, sold via dark web site Nexus.
Independent journalist Brian Krebs reported that a dark web site called Nexus is selling searchable access to more than 150 million driver's licenses and passports belonging to people in the United States and Canada, adding roughly 500,000 documents daily from a 'major identity verification company.' Krebs and researcher Zach Edwards identified Louisiana-based identity verification service IDScan as the likely source; Krebs' own license and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's records appeared in the database. The FBI confirmed it is looking into the incident and IDScan says it is investigating; Nexus went offline shortly after the report went live.
