Driver’s License Data for Sale

A database containing 153 million driver's licenses has surfaced for sale on the dark web. The scope and origin of the dataset remain unclear from the available reporting.

Why it matters: Identity theft and fraud risk affects millions of individuals whose driver's license data is exposed; practitioners should monitor for downstream exploitation of this dataset and advise customers to watch for fraudulent account creation and credential abuse.
