FBI probes dark-web leak of millions of driver’s licenses in US and Canada
The FBI is investigating a report that tens of millions of drivers’ licenses belonging to people in the United States and Canada were being sold on the dark web, a claim brought to light by journalist Brian Krebs. If confirmed, the breach could be among the largest exposures of government-issued IDs and pose broad identity-theft risks; Reuters has not independently verified the source, but Krebs says the data include licenses and other IDs and that IDScan.net is examining the matter.
