AI Summary
Identity verification company IDScan confirmed a breach of its cloud platform after hackers offered a database of 153 million driver's license scans for sale on the dark web, with a breach notice dated September 4, 2026. The scale of the exposure — covering biometric-quality identity documents — poses severe risks for identity fraud, account takeover, and social engineering attacks targeting individuals whose licenses were scanned at venues, retailers, and age-verification checkpoints. Brian Krebs and The Record both covered the breach, which IDScan acknowledged without specifying the number of affected individuals.
