- IDScan — a company whose entire job is verifying who you are — allegedly let hackers walk off with 153+ million driver's licenses, now on the clearance rack of the underworld. Unsealed cargo, filed under "irony." Who gets hurt: ordinary people whose meat-wallet data now props up fraud, phishing, and identity theft they never signed up for. Serious readers: if you've ever been "verified," assume your license leaked — freeze credit, enable MFA that isn't SMS, and watch for license-based fraud alerts. Vendors selling trust should stop kidding themselves about perimeter security. Check the seals before you ship identity data, not after the lawsuits arrive. Incident response: coffee first, forensics second. Delivery signature applied.
