IDScan confirms a breach as a seller claims 153 million licenses
IDScan, a Louisiana-based identity verification company used by businesses from entertainment venues to cannabis dispensaries, said in a September 4, 2026 security notice that an unauthorized third party may have accessed or copied customer information stored in its cloud, including full names and driver's license or other government-issued ID numbers. It learned of the incident on or around September 1 and has not said how many people are affected. A dark-web service called Nexus claimed more than 153 million US and Canadian driver's licenses before going offline; the FBI is investigating.
