- A dark-web bazaar dubbed "Nexus" is hawking scans of 153M+ US and Canadian driver's licenses — plus IDs, travel docs, and medical cards — apparently siphoned from a Louisiana identity-verification firm. The FBI's New Orleans office has opened an inquiry. Even the Defense Secretary's license is in the pile; records grew by ~400K in a single day, so the breach is live cargo, still leaking. Who gets hurt: anyone who's rented a car or flashed a license for "verification" — timestamps point to car-rental kiosks, not airports. Stop kidding yourself: your license photo is a meat wallet someone else is spending. Check the seals — freeze credit, enable identity monitoring, and treat any "verify yourself" prompt as unsealed cargo until proven otherwise. We're threadbare, but not careless. Delivery signature applied.
