Millions of IDs May Be Compromised | Tech News
Description
Your ID might be compromised in a massive breach: IDScan, a company used by big brands to verify millions of IDs monthly, appears to have suffered a leak exposing driver’s licenses and passports—including even Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s. Security journalist Brian Krebs found his own license in the data, confirming the breach’s scale. The Department of Defense is investigating, and IDScan’s service went dark after the news broke. As more places demand ID uploads for age verification, this incident underscores the growing risks of handing over sensitive personal info—and serves as a stark warning about digital identity security.
