It sure looks like hackers breached a major ID card verification service

An identity theft search site claimed to have obtained over 150 million driver's license photos from an ID verification service. The site has since shut down. The breach, if confirmed, would expose a substantial volume of sensitive identity documents.

Why it matters: Organizations using ID verification services and individuals whose driver's license photos may have been exposed face identity fraud and synthetic identity attack risk; practitioners should verify whether their identity verification providers were affected and assess customer notification obligations.
