Massive driver’s license data leak triggers FBI probe

Digital scans of millions of driver’s licenses from the U.S. and Canada were found for sale on the dark web, tied to a popular identity‑verification company. The incident—potentially the largest exposure of government‑issued IDs—has prompted an FBI probe, with numbers cited around 153 million licenses plus additional IDs, travel documents, and medical cards. If you’re affected, monitor or freeze your credit, report fraud to the FTC, and contact your DMV to address a compromised license.
