GoKawiilIDScan breach exposes 153 million driver's licenses, hackers ran year-long data theft via Nexus
ID verification company IDScan disclosed that hackers accessed its systems without authorization, a breach later linked to a criminal marketplace called Nexus selling scans of over 170 million identity documents. Security researcher Brian Krebs verified the stolen trove includes 153 million driver's licenses, 10 million ID cards, 3 million passports and travel documents, and hundreds of thousands of medical cards, mostly belonging to US residents with some Canadian records included. The attackers claimed to have quietly siphoned data from IDScan's systems for more than a year before being detected.
