Dark web hosts 153 million driver scans
The FBI is investigating a dark web operation called Nexus that claimed to have collected over 153 million U.S. and Canadian driver’s license records, along with millions of other identification documents. Researchers found evidence suggesting the database contained real driver’s licenses, raising concerns about potential identity theft, as criminals could use this information for impersonation. The Nexus service appears to have been active for more than a year before its disappearance, and investigators are examining its origin and scope. The breach highlights the risks associated with sharing scanned driver’s licenses, which contain sensitive personal information.
