FBI Probes Possible Breach of 153 Million Driver’s Licenses

THE FBI is investigating a significant data breach potentially involving the personal details of 170 million North Americans. The breach was tied to a service called "Nexus," which advertised access to digital scans of identity documents on a Russian cybercrime forum, claiming to have over 153 million driver's licenses, among other sensitive documents. The incident is linked to IDScan.net, an identity verification company, and poses severe risks as the exposed data cannot be changed. Experts stress the need for stronger security measures for identity verification processes, comparable to those used for payment card data.
