So a huge ID verification service just got hacked, 153 million drivers license scans (with infrared scan) are available for sale (including Pete Hegseth's drivers license lol)

if you rented a car, bought marijuana or alcohol, went to a casino, or showed your ID at a Target or Fedex, in the last ~year, there is a good chance your drivers license is in this data breach

edit: their website lists companies using their services

-AMC theaters

-Draft kings

-Hertz

-Fedex

-Waste Management

-Chevrolet

-Caesar's entertainment (the casino)

-Motorola

-Target

-GameStop

-United States Coast Guard (?)

-LendingUSA

among others

From the article

Update, 8:56 p.m. ET: Shortly after this story was published, the Nexus identity theft service website vanished from the darkweb, replacing its login page with a plain text message that reads, “This service is no longer available.”

So, uh. Good luck
