An identity theft search site claimed to have over 150 million driver's license photos stolen from a major ID verification service. The criminal site has since shut down, raising concerns about the scope of the breach and the potential misuse of stolen personal data.
Background
The surge in identity verification services has made them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to harvest large volumes of personal identifiable information (PII). Previous breaches of similar services have led to widespread identity fraud cases.
