IDScan Confirms Theft of More Than 150 Million Driver’s-License Records

Identity-verification provider IDScan confirmed that attackers stole data from its cloud systems during a reportedly year-long intrusion. The compromised dataset includes full names, driver’s-license numbers, and identification numbers from other government documents, including passports; IDScan holds more than 150 million driver’s-license records.

The records were advertised on a dark-web marketplace and reportedly searchable for more than 150 million people in the United States and Canada, potentially including photographs. The seller and breach method have not been publicly identified, while IDScan continues its investigation and the FBI is investigating; the Pentagon said it was aware of reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s information appeared in the database.
