License to Leak: The Dark Web's Latest Driver's License Debacle The latest leak of driver's licenses on the dark web is a sobering reminder that our personal data is not as secure as we'd like to think.
More than 153 million scans of US and Canadian driver's licenses have been put up for sale, with some being used as free samples to advertise the illicit service.
This breach has all the hallmarks of a classic case of identity theft by proxy. The ID verification company IDScan, which counts Hertz among its clients, is likely the source of the leak.
