A investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has revealed potential efforts to compromise a company specializing in identity verification, which may have led to the leakage of millions of American driver's licenses and identity data. According to an announcement posted on a Russian criminal forum, access has been obtained to a database containing more than 160 million electronic copies of American driver’s licenses and IDs, along with information from over 10 million other documents, including residence cards, medical cards, and international documents. The source of the stolen data has not yet been confirmed, but if verified, it would be one of the largest leaks of US government identity documents ever, with the actors behind the breach appearing highly sophisticated and driven by financial motives.
