Federal investigators are examining how scans of more than 150 million driver\u2019s licenses and other identity documents reached a dark-web marketplace for sale.<\/p>\n

The inquiry centers on an apparent ongoing breach at a Louisiana identity verification firm whose systems handle millions of checks monthly at thousands of locations, reports<\/a> The New York Times.<\/p>\n

The Nexus service advertised roughly 153 million U.S. and Canadian driver\u2019s licenses plus millions of additional travel documents, residency cards and medical cards.<\/p>\n

It claimed continuous access to a major verification company serving Fortune 500 clients and added hundreds of thousands of new records daily.<\/p>\n

Timestamps on many scans matched dates when individuals used their licenses at car rental counters or other verification points.<\/p>\n

The New Orleans FBI field office opened an official probe into the apparent source of the images.<\/p>\n

The service went offline shortly after initial coverage, replacing its login page with a message that it was no longer available.<\/p>\n

The verification company stated it is investigating but has not issued a public breach notice.<\/p>\n
