FBI Probes Dark Web Service Selling 153M+ Driver Licenses
The FBI is investigating a dark web service offering over 153 million driver license scans stolen from a verification company.
A new identity theft service launched on the dark web has put up digital scans of more than 153 million driver licenses belonging to individuals in the United States and Canada.
Interviews with victims whose documents are available for purchase suggest the data was siphoned from a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana.
Following these revelations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New Orleans field office has officially launched an inquiry to trace the source of the compromised images.
This massive breach highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in digital identity verification systems, emphasizing the critical need for robust data protection measures globally.
