FBI Probes Possible Breach of 153 Million Driver’s Licenses

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the unauthorized acquisition and sale of scans from over 153 million driver's licenses on the dark web. The investigation aims to determine how such a large volume of identification document scans became compromised and entered criminal marketplaces.

Why it matters: Identity theft and fraud risks escalate for all affected individuals whose driver's license information is exposed; organizations and law enforcement need to determine the breach source to prevent further unauthorized access to sensitive identification data.
