IDScan confirms breach after hackers offer 153 million driver’s license scans for sale
A notice dated September 4 but not widely shared shows that IDScan acknowledged a data breach but did not specify how many people were affected.
Identity verification firm IDScan said hackers obtained customer data held in its cloud platform following recent reports connecting the company to a database breach exposing scans of some 153 million driver’s licenses.
The company confirmed a hack in a notice published on its website on September 4 and said it became aware of the breach on or around September 1 — the same day a journalist reported the news based on dark web activity.
“While the investigation is ongoing, IDScan.net has determined that an unauthorized third party may have accessed and/or copied certain customer information stored within their accounts on the IDScan.net cloud,” the company announcement said.
