Srsly Risky Biz: America's Drivers Licence Breach is a National Security Disaster
A dark web service called Nexus is selling access to approximately 153 million US and Canadian drivers licenses obtained from a compromised identity verification company. The operator claims to have continuously exfiltrated data over more than a year, with the database growing by nearly 400,000 records daily, and verification confirms the licenses are genuine. Government officials, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and FBI leadership, are among those affected.
Why it matters: Organizations handling identity verification and government agencies must investigate potential compromises, as adversaries now possess authentic identity documents for mass impersonation, credential stuffing, and intelligence operations against US citizens and officials.
