Breaking, exclusive and spicy, from me:
A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada. Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana. KrebsOnSecurity also has learned that the New Orleans field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.

It has been just three days since my story about the FBI investigating a likely breach at idscan.net that resulted in 153M drivers license scans being sold on the Internet. And already there are at least four class action lawsuits that have been filed in response.
