A new dark web marketplace called Nexus is selling over 153 million driver's licenses, with scans available within hours of legitimate scanning at rental car companies, dispensaries, and other venues. The IDs include front/back images plus infrared and ultraviolet spectrum captures designed to bypass hologram verification on cloned counterfeit IDs. The FBI is investigating, and the service also offers government Common Access Cards, travel cards, and medical marijuana cards.
Background
Brian Krebs published an exposé on Nexus, a newly discovered dark web identity theft marketplace that aggregates stolen government-issued identification documents from various legitimate scanning points across the US.
