ID verification giant IDScan confirms data breach with more than 150 million driver’s licenses stolen

ID verification firm IDScan has acknowledged a data breach in which hackers stole driver’s license records from its cloud systems, including full names, driver’s license numbers and identity numbers from other government-issued documents. The disclosure follows a dark-web report that a searchable database held information for more than 150 million people in the United States and Canada, a claim an independent journalist verified using his own record.
