Massive leak of global KYC documents for sale on Nexus; FBI investigates

AI summary of the linked article

Driver's license scans from rental companies and other businesses are reportedly for sale on a marketplace called Nexus, and the FBI is investigating. Krebs reported that the number of licenses listed as available grew by almost 400,000 over 24 hours, with new scans appearing shortly after they were harvested. IDScan.net, a New Orleans-based ID scanning service listing Hertz and 11 other companies as users, told Krebs it is investigating. Its scans reportedly capture infrared and ultraviolet spectra. Nexus went offline within hours of the KrebsOnSecurity report, so people cannot check whether their IDs are included.
