Lawsuits Emerge After 153 Million Driver's Licenses Breach Tied to IDScan.net
TL;DR Summary
Four class-action lawsuits allege IDScan.net failed to protect data after a breach exposed 153 million driver's licenses on the dark web via a Nexus site. The firm, which provides identity-verification for Hertz, GameStop, and FedEx, is accused of violating FTC data-security guidelines; plaintiffs seek damages and stronger security measures as the FBI investigates and IDScan.net has not commented. Nexus reportedly shut down, though data could resurface elsewhere.
