An investigation has been launched by the FBI into the theft of digital scans of driver's licenses. These scans, along with other identification documents, were found being sold on the dark web. The total number of affected licenses is over 153 million, originating from the U.S. and Canada.

The data is believed to have come from an identity verification company. In addition to driver's licenses, other stolen documents include identification cards, travel documents, and medical cards. The total number of these documents is substantial, with millions of people potentially affected.

Further details on the investigation and the scope of the theft are available from digital security sources, including the blog that initially reported the incident.
