FBI investigates massive breach exposing 153 million driver’s licenses

The FBI is investigating after digital scans of more than 153 million U.S. and Canadian driver’s licenses were reportedly offered for sale on the dark web. The records may have originated with an identity-verification provider that processes IDs for businesses, although investigators have not confirmed the source of the data. Consumers potentially affected should consider freezing their credit and closely watching financial accounts because a stolen license can provide criminals with valuable information for identity theft.
