IDScan Confirms Data Breach Following 153 Million Driver’s Licenses Leaked on the Dark Web
IDScan.net confirms a breach after a marketplace advertised over 153 million US and Canadian driver's licenses, possibly exfiltrated continuously for over a year.
The Louisiana identity-verification firm detected unauthorized access on or around September 1, 2026, after the 'Nexus' identity theft service on the Exploit forum began advertising 170M+ people's records, including 153M+ driver's licenses, 10M+ ID cards, 3M+ travel documents, and 579,000 medical cards. Canadian records exceed 1.1 million, and the trove includes commercial licenses, Common Access Cards, and dispensary IDs, with a record for US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly included. Nexus operators claim continuous exfiltration for over a year, with the license count growing by nearly 400,000 in 24 hours, suggesting the intrusion may be active. The FBI's New Orleans field office has opened a formal inquiry, and IDScan.net is offering free credit monitoring.

Thomson Reuters Court Software Breach May Have Exposed SSNs and Sealed Data
Unauthorized access to Thomson Reuters' C-Track court platform may have exposed SSNs and sealed records across 11 US states, USVI, and Ontario.
Thomson Reuters' West Publishing disclosed that an unauthorized party obtained files from the C-Track court case management platform starting in March 2026, with access to one environment running from March 1 through June 29, 2026 per Montana's account. Notices name roughly 24 court bodies across 11 US states, the US Virgin Islands, and Ontario, including appellate courts in Minnesota, Ohio, Montana, and Pennsylvania. Exposed data may include names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, dates of birth, medical and health insurance information, and confidential or sealed court records. The company is offering 12 months of Experian or TransUnion monitoring, and courts disagree over whether the vendor's backup cloud environment or the production platform was accessed.

I Think the Military Commissary Freezers Were Hacked
Refrigeration failures at six-plus US military commissaries prompt speculation of a cyber attack on DeCA's remote monitoring systems; Pentagon acknowledges possible disruption.
The author documents near-simultaneous freezer and refrigeration failures at confirmed installations including Fort Huachuca, F.E. Warren AFB, Fort Irwin and Travis AFB on August 26-27, with freezers entering defrost mode that heated and spoiled food. DeCA's Remote Monitoring Control System controls defrost across roughly 182 locations, and an unverified comment attributed the Fort Huachuca failure to a network issue. Stars and Stripes and Military Times independently reported the multi-base failures, and the Pentagon acknowledged a 'possible refrigeration disruption,' though no evidence of hacking has been confirmed.

Security Incident – BGP Hijacking
Attackers BGP-hijacked Softaculous' Hetzner IP block for 33 hours, obtained valid TLS certificates, and delivered a malicious Virtualizor update to some servers.
Between August 28 and 30, 2026, AS62390 (NexonHost) announced 162.55.80.0/24 via transit AS6204 (Zet.net) without authorization, diverting traffic while retaining Hetzner's AS24940 on the AS path. The attacker obtained valid Let's Encrypt certificates for virtualizor.com domains because the CA's domain validation was also routed through the hijack, so affected connections showed no TLS warnings. A malicious Virtualizor update package reached a handful of installations; routing was fully restored, and reconstruction from RIPE RIS data showed all 368 collector peers carried the hijacked route at some point with roughly 28% time-weighted diversion.

Extortion Group FulcrumSec Claims 86GB Manchester Airports Data Theft
Extortion group FulcrumSec claims stealing 86GB of Manchester Airports Group data, exposing 8.7 million customers' personal and booking details.
Manchester Airports Group disclosed a breach on August 27 affecting parking, lounge, Fast Track and WiFi registrations at Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports, impacting 8.7 million customers, most exposed only email addresses. FulcrumSec claims it stole about 86GB via airport-specific Iterable API credentials exposed in client-side JavaScript, including a 21.5GB Manchester export with booking histories, marketing data and nearly 200,000 records on upcoming 2026 travel. BleepingComputer verified sample records against a real traveler's Fast Track history; MAG declined to address the group's specific claims. Researchers warn the combination of UK postcodes, vehicle registrations and booking details could enable convincing targeted phishing, and MAG says no payment card or banking data was exposed.
