🚨 BREAKING: THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING WHAT COULD BE ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS IDENTITY DATA BREACHES WE’VE SEEN.

A new dark web service called “Nexus” claims to be selling digital scans of more than 153 MILLION driver’s licenses belonging to people in the United States and Canada.

And we’re not just talking about names and addresses leaked in a database.

These are reportedly actual scans of government-issued IDs.

▪️ 153+ MILLION driver’s licenses
▪️ 10+ MILLION other ID cards
▪️ 3+ MILLION travel documents/international IDs
▪️ 579,000+ medical cards

Cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs was able to find his own driver’s license in the database. The license of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was reportedly there too, along with IDs belonging to other high-ranking government officials.

The FBI’s New Orleans field office has now opened an inquiry into where these images came from.
Early evidence points toward data collected by a major identity-verification company, meaning these may be documents Americans handed over because they were told they needed to “verify their identity.”

153 million driver’s licenses potentially circulating in the criminal underground should be a massive wake-up call.
